- DEGRADATION OF THE TEST ARTICLE
In the test flasks containing the test article and inoculum (test set no. 1 and 2), the mean concentrations of DOC (Dissolved Qrganic Qarbon} varied from 32.8 to 34.7 mg/I over the exposure period of 28 days and were practically equal to the initial mean DOC concentration of 33.5 mg/I measured on day-0. Expressed as percentage DOC-removal, very low values in the range from -4 to 3 % were noted. Therefore, SCARLET RN 1165 was found to be practically nonbiodegradable under the test conditions over the 28-day exposure period to activated sludge from a domestic waste water treatment plant.
Abiotic control:
In the abiotic control (test set no. 6) containing the test article and sterile medium, the DOC concentrations varied from 31.9 to 34.3 mg/I over the exposure period of 28 days and were practically equal to the initial DOC concentration of 33.8 mg/I measured on day 0. Therefore, no abiotic degradation occurred.
DEGRADATION OF THE REFERENCE COMPOUND {ANILINE)
In the procedure controls (test set no. 3 and 4) containing the reference compound Aniline and inoculum, Aniline was readily biodegraded by an average of 99 % within 14 days of exposure, and was fully biodegraded (102 %} by the end of the test (day 28).
DEGRADATION IN THE TOXICITY CONTROL (SCARLET RN 1165 AND ANILINE)
In the toxicity control (test set no. 7) containing the test article (44.3 % as DOC), the reference compound (55.7 % as DOC} and inoculum, the initial DOC concentration of 34.8 mg/I measured on day-0 decreased by 52.0 % to 16.7 mg/I within 28 days of exposure. This indicates nearly complete biodegradation of the reference compound Aniline in the presence of test article, and that the nonbiodegradability of SCARLET RN 1165 is not the result of a toxic effect on the microorganisms. In other words, 50.3 % degradation (based on DOC measured on day-0) occurred within 14 days of exposure; thus, according to the test guidelines the test article can be assumed to not be inhibitory because degradation was >35 % within 14 days. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- SCARLET RN 1165 was found to be practically nonbiodegradable over the 28-day exposure period to activated sludge from the aeration tank of a domestic waste water treatment plant.
The reference compound Aniline was readily biodegraded by an average of 99 % within 14 days of exposure, and was fully biodegraded (102 %) by the end of the test (day 28); thus confirming suitability of the activated sludge.
In the toxicity control, containing both SCARLET RN 1165 and the reference compound Aniline, no inhibitory effect on the microorganisms was observed. - Executive summary:
SCARLET RN 1165 was investigated for its ready biodegradability in the "28-Day Modified OECD Screening Test".
In the test flasks containing the test article and inoculum (test set no. 1 and 2) the mean concentrations of DOC (Dissolved Organic .Q.arbon) varied from 32.8 to 34.7 mg/I over the exposure period of 28 days and were practically equal to the initial mean DOC concentration of 33.5 mg/I measured on day-0. Expressed as percentage DOC-removal, very low values in the range from -4 to 3 % were noted over the 28-day exposure period. Therefore, SCARLET RN 1165 was found to be practically nonbiodegradable in the "Modified OECD Screening Test".

Therefore, no abiotic degradation occurred.
In the procedure controls (test set no. 3 and 4) containing the reference compound Aniline and inoculum, Aniline was readily biodegraded by an average of 99 % within 14 days of exposure, and was fully biodegraded (102 %) by the end of the test (day-28); thus confirming suitability of the activated sludge.

Test medium
The stock solutions according to the guidelines were:
a) 8.5 g KH2PO4, 21.75 g KrHPOr, 33.4 g NarHPOox ZHrO,0.5 g NH4CI dissolved in bidistilled water and made up to 1000 ml with bidistilled water. The pH was 7.4.
b) 22.5 g MgSOo x TH.O dissolved in bidistilled water and made up to 1000 mlwith bidistilled water.
c) 36.4 g CaCl, x ZH.O dissolved in bidistilled water and made up to 1000 mlwith bidistilled water.

10 ml of stock solution a) and 1 ml each of stock solutions b)-d) were combined and made up to 1000 ml with bidistilled water.
Test concentrations
The concentration of the test article was based on its DOC concentration which was determined in a pre-test. In this pre-test the DOC of a solution containing 100 mg SCARLET RN 1165 per 1000 ml test medium was 38.9 mg C/l. Derived from this, two times 400 mg of SCARLET RN 1165 where each weighed into a reactor flask, filled with 500 ml of test medium, and after the addition of 100 ml activated sludge the flasks were filled to the 2-litre mark with test medium. The corresponding mean starting Doc concentration was 71.4 mg C/l (corrected for the blank).
ln the procedure controlthe concentration of the reference compound (Aniline) was 200 mg per 2 litres, corresponding to a theoretical amount of 71.4 mg c/1. ln addition, an untreated lnoculated control (inoculum blank) was run.
Test Conditions
Test duration: 28 days
Light conditions: The study was run under diffuse illumination.The flasks were continously aerated. The oxygen concentration was checked at the start of the test and at the respective sampling intervals, resulting in oxygen concentrations in the range from 8.0 - 8.8 mg O2, per litre.
Test temperature: The test temperature was checked at the respective sampling intervals, and ranged from 22.5 - 23°CC.
pH: The pH was checked at the start of the test and at the respective sampling intervals, and ranged from 7.0 to 7.6. - Reference substance:

- DEGRADATION OF TEST ARTICLE
During the exposure period of 28 days, the mean DOC concentration slightly decreased from 72.4 mg/l (starting value after 3 hours of exposure to 69.0-62.4 mg/l. No DOC removal was observed during the first three hours of exposure. Expressed as percentage DOC removal, low mean values in the range from 5 to 14% were noted. SCARLET RN 1165 was therefore found to be practically nonbiodegradable by the end of the 28-day exposure period to activated sludge from a domestic waste water treatment plant.
DEGRADATION OF REFERENCE COMPOUND (ANILINE)
The initial DOC concentration (measured after 3 hours of exposure) of the test sotution containing the reference compound Aniline rapidly decreased by 98% within the first seven days of exposure. Consequently, the validity criterion of 70% DOC removal within 14 days of exposure was fulfilled. At the end of the test (day 28), Aniline was completely biodegraded (100%). - Remarks on result:
- not determinable because of methodological limitations
- Results with reference substance:
- The initial DOC concentration (measured after 3 hours of exposure) of the test containing the reference compound Aniline rapidly decreased by 98% within the first seven days of exposure. Consequently, the validity criterion of 70% DOC-removal within 14 days of exposure was fulfilled. At the end of the test (day 28), Aniline was completely biodegraded (100%).
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Interpretation of results:
- not inherently biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- SCARLET RN 1165 was found to be practically nonbiodegradable in the "Zahn-Wellens / EMPA Test' over the 28-day exposure period to microorganisms from a domestic waste water treatment plant. Additionally, no physico-chemical adsorption occurred on the activated sludge.
The reference compound Aniline ultimately biodegraded by 98 % within seven days of exposure. At the end of the test (day-28), Aniline was completely biodegraded (100 %); thus confirming suitability of the activated sludge. - Executive summary:
SCARLET RN 1 165 was investigated for its biodegradability in the 28-Day Zahn-Wellens/ EMPA Test".
The mean concentration of DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon) in the test flasks containing the test article slightly decreased from initially 72.4 mg/l to 69.0 -62.4 mg/l over the exposure period of 28 days. Expressed as percentage DOC removal, low mean values in the range from 5 to 14% were noted. Therefore, SCARLET RN 1165 was found to be practically nonbiodegradable over the 28 -day exposure period under the present test conditions. In addition, no DOC-removal was observed during the first three hours of exposure, indicating that no physico-chemical adsorption occured on the activated sludge.
The reference compound Aniline ultimately biodegraded by 98% within seven days of exposure. At the end of the test (day 28), Aniline was completely biodegraded (100%).
