- Test Procedure and Conditions
The temperature was not entirely within the range stated in the Study Plan. Evaluation: Temperature was only slightly out of range and with a relatively short duration. This deviation therefore did not impact the results or validity of the study.
Reference Item
A different batch of 1-octanol was used as stated in the Study Plan. Evaluation: All relevant details of the used 1-octanol were comparable to the batch in the Study Plan. This deviation therefore did not impact the results or validity of the study. The details of the used reference item are included in the report. - GLP compliance:

TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
- Treatment of test material prior to testing and final dilution of a dissolved solid, stock liquid or gel: The test item was added to the mineral medium to give a final organic carbon concentration of 20 mg C/L. Since the test item was not sufficiently soluble to allow preparation of an aqueous solution at a concentration of 1 g/L, weighed amounts of test item were added directly to the test vessels containing medium (107 mL) with microbial organisms and mineral components (30 mg per vessel).
Study design
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- activated sludge, domestic (adaptation not specified)
- Details on inoculum:
- The source of test organisms was activated sludge freshly obtained from a municipal sewage treatment plant: 'Waterschap Aa en Maas', 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands, receiving predominantly domestic sewage.
The freshly obtained sludge was kept under continuous aeration until further treatment. The concentration of suspended solids was determined to be 4.3 g/L in the concentrated sludge. Before use, the sludge was allowed to settle (30 minutes) and the liquid was decanted for use as inoculum at the amount of 10 mL/L of mineral medium.
Tap-water purified by reverse osmosis (Milli-RO) and subsequently passed over activated carbon and ion-exchange cartridges (Milli-Q) (Millipore Corp., Bedford, Mass., USA). - Duration of test (contact time):
- 28 d
Initial test substance concentration
- Initial conc.:
- 0 other: Not applicable
- Based on:
- TOC
- Remarks:
- See 'details on study design' section.
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation
- Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
- CO2 evolution
- Details on study design:
- Test duration: 28 days (14 days for the procedure and toxicity control).
Test vessels : Well-sealed glass serum vessels (TFE/silicone septa and Teflon seals). Vessels were filled to give a headspace to liquid ratio of 1:2 (107 mL test medium in 160 mL-capacity vessel).
Milli-RO / Milli-Q water: Tap-water purified by reverse osmosis (Milli-RO) and subsequently passed over activated carbon and ion-exchange cartridges (Milli-Q) (Millipore Corp., Bedford, Mass., USA). Milli-RO water: carbon levels < 500 ppb.
Stock solutions of mineral components:
A) 8.50 g KH2PO4; 21.75 g K2HPO4; 67.20 g Na2HPO4.12H2O; 0.50 g NH4Cl dissolved in Milli-Q water and made up to 1 litre, pH 7.4 ± 0.2
B) 22.50 g MgSO4.7H2O dissolved in Milli-Q water and made up to 1 litre.
C) 36.40 g CaCl2.2H2O dissolved in Milli-Q water and made up to 1 litre.
D) 0.25 g FeCl3.6H2O dissolved in Milli-Q water and made up to 1 litre.
Mineral medium: 1 litre mineral medium contains: 10 mL of solution (A), 1 mL of solutions (B) to (D) and Milli-RO water.
Sampling points and the number of vessels (between brackets)
Inoculum blank: day 1(3), 7 (3), 14 (5), 21 (3) and 28 (5)
Procedure control: day 1 (3), 7 (3) and 14 (5).
Test item: day 1(3), 7 (3), 14 (3), 21 (3) and 28 (5).
Toxicity control: day 1 (3), 7 (3) and 14 (5).
Abiotic control: day 1 (3) and 28 (5).
Three parallel reserve vessels for each test series were prepared. These vessels were not used and were removed at the end of the test.
Furthermore, an additional vessel of each test series was prepared for pH measurement. The vessel was prepared identically to the test vessels.
Incubation: In the dark on an orbital shaker, with a shaking rate sufficient to keep the vessel well mixed and in suspension.
7 M NaOH: 7M NaOH (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) was prepared freshly at the start of the test.
Sample pre-treatment: 1 mL 7 M NaOH was injected through the septum of each vessel and the vessels were returned to the orbital shaker for 1 h. Thereafter, the vessels were removed from the shaker and allowed to settle. The supernatant was used for IC analysis.

Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:
- Not applicable.
- Test performance:
- The reference item was biodegraded by at least 60% (96%) within 14 days.
The mean amount of TIC present in the inoculum blanks at the end of the test was
< 3 mg C/L (1.5 mg C/L).
Since all criteria for acceptability of the test were met, this study was considered to be valid.

- Details on results:
- Assuming 100% mineralization of the test item to CO2, the Theoretical maximum IC production (ThIC) in excess of that produced in the inoculum blanks equals the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) added to each test vessel at the start of the test. The TOC content of the test item was determined to be 65.35%. Thus, the ThIC of the test item was calculated to be 0.654 mg/mg.
BOD5 / COD results
- Results with reference substance:
- The ThIC of the reference item (1-octanol) was calculated to be 0.74 mg/mg.
The ThIC of the reference item (sodium benzoate) was calculated to be 0.58 mg/mg

Biodegradation
Results of inorganic carbon measurement and percentages of biodegradation are listed inTable3andTable4, respectively. An overview of the mean group % biodegradation is listed inTable1. The curves for biodegradation are shown inFigure 1.
The relative biodegradation values calculated from the measurements performed during the test period revealedno biologically relevantbiodegradation of the test item.
In the toxicity control more than 25% biodegradation occurred within 14 days (51%, based on ThIC). Therefore, the test item was assumed not to inhibit microbial activity.
