Executive summary:

Summarized result for the determination of biodegradation of test chemical in water are as mentioned below:

 

In the first key study from authoritative database, biodegradation study was conducted for 14 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of test substance. Activated sludge was used for the study. Concentration of inoculum i.e, sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance concentration used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of test substance was determined to be 70 and 100 % by BOD, TOC removal and HPLC parameter in 14 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, test chemical was considered to be readily biodegradable in water.

 

Above study further supported by the second study from authoritative database. Biodegradation study was conducted for 14 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of test substance. Activated sludge was used for the study. Concentration of inoculum i.e, sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance concentration used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of test substance was determined to be 87 % by BOD and 100% by TOC removal and HPLC parameter in 14 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, test chemical was considered to be readily biodegradable in water.

 

Thus, on the basis of above all studies, the percentage degradation of test substance was determined to be 70 and 87 % by BOD and 100 % by TOC removal and HPLC parameter in 14 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, test chemical was considered to be readily biodegradable in water.
