- Executive summary:
The ready biodegradability test was carried out according to OECD TG 301D and China Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Effects on Degradation and Accumulation, 301D Closed Bottle Test (2013) under GLP. The test item, at a concentration of 2.1 mg/L was exposed to secondary effluent micro-organisms obtained from the Datansha Sewage Treatment Plant of Guangzhou, China, with culture medium in sealed culture vessels in the dark at approximately 20°C ± 2°C (actual temperature: 19.2 to 21.8°C) for 28 days. The temperature deviation was not considered to impact the study. The secondary effluent of waste water treatment plant is recommended by test guideline. Control solutions with inoculum and the reference substance, sodium benzoate, together with a toxicity control were used for validation purposes. The inoculum was filtered through a coarse filter paper to remove any coarse particles and impurities on the surface, then the filtrate was kept aerobic until required. When testing, 1.0 mL of secondary effluent per litre of test medium was added into the test system to give a final bacteria concentration of 10^4 – 10^6 CFU/L. The aerobic plate count presented in inoculum was 3.4 x 10^5 CFU per millilitre. Respectively, 7900 mL, 7900 mL, 7900 mL and 7900 mL of the test medium which had been fully-aerated for 2 h were added into flasks 1 to 4, and then stood for approximately 20 h. The test solutions were prepared. Reference substance stock solution and secondary effluent were respectively added into each flask and filled up to the final volume with test medium, and then these solutions were mixed uniformly. The pH values were measured and then the solutions were dispensed immediately. The prepared solutions were dispensed into the respective group of BOD bottles by hose from the lower quarter of the appropriate large bottle, and all the BOD bottles were completely filled, then tapped gently to remove any air bubbles, finally they were made airtight. The dissolved oxygen concentrations were determined electrochemically using an oxygen electrode and meter. The pH was measured using a pH meter. The temperature was measured and recorded with a thermometer connected to a data logger. At the beginning of the study, the test item concentrations of the test suspension and the toxicity control were measured by HPLC. After the solution of the test suspension and the toxicity control were dispensed into BOD bottles, the first and the last BOD bottles of each group were taken out to stir for about 15 min, and then an appropriate amount of each solution was filtered through 0.45µm filter membrane, and the filtrate was determined after dilution twice with acetonitrile. At the end of the study, randomly chosen duplicate bottles of the test suspension and the toxicity control were fetched to do the same operation steps as day 0 to analyse the test item concentration. On day 14 of the test, percentage biodegradation of the reference substance (procedure control) and the toxicity control were 81.0% and 61.5%, respectively, reaching the pass level of 60% and 25% of theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD). The average oxygen depletion in the inoculum blank was 0.66 mg/L, which was less than 1.5 mg O2/L after 28 days. The minimum concentration of dissolved oxygen during the test was measured as 0.65 mg/L, meeting the condition that the residual concentration of oxygen in the test bottles should not fall below 0.5 mg/L. The difference of extremes of replicate values of the biodegradation of the test item during the test was less than 20%. All relevant validity criteria were met. The percentage biodegradation of the test item on day 28 were 68.3% and 61.4%, with a calculated mean of 64.8%. At the beginning and end of the test, the actual concentrations of the test item in the test suspension and the toxicity control were measured as 2.05 mg/L, 1.99 mg/L and 0.834 mg/L, 1.18 mg/L, respectively. The percentage decrease of the test item at the end of the test was 59.3% and 40.8%, respectively. The mean biodegradation for duplicate test flasks at 28 days for the test item was 64.8% (the 10-day window was met). Under the conditions of the study, test item is considered as readily biodegradable.
