- Value:
- 60.1
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:

Additional information
One study is available in which the biodegradability of fatty acids, coco, esters with 1,3-butanediol (CAS 73138-39-3) was tested. The study was conducted according to the OECD guideline 301 F and GLP. Non-adapted activated sludge was used as inoculum and was exposed to 100 mg/L test material for 28 d. Oxygen consumption was measured by decreasing of the pressure in the bottles on days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 13, 20 and 28 in order to monitor the biodegradation of the substance. A reference and a toxicity control were run in parallel. The substance was found to biodegrade rapidly. 60.1% biodegradation was recorded after 28 d and therefore the substance is regarded as readily biodegradable. All validity criteria mentioned by the guideline were fulfilled. 57.7% biodegradation took place in the toxicity control within 13 d and therefore the test item was not toxic to micro-organisms.
