- Conclusions:
- In a radiolabelled soil degradation study, the DT50 of of the test item was determined to be 7.5 - 8.2 days when tested in 3 soil types. The study was conducted in a manner similar to OECD 307 (aerobic) and is considered suitable for chemical safety assessment purposes.
- Executive summary:
In a one-to-one read-across approach, the substance benzenesulfonic acid, 4-C10-13-sec-alkyl derivs. (data on LAS-Na salt as part of category approach) is considered appropriate for direct read-across (one-to-one) to benzenesulfonic acid, 4-C10-13-sec-alkyl derivs., ammonium salts (target substance) for the endpoint biodegradation in soil.
The mineralization of 14C-labeled linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) was investigated in 3 different soil types (coarse sand, sand and clay), using a method similar to OECD 307. Chemical-soil complexes were prepared 24 h before the experiments were started. Each chemical was dissolved in an organic solvent and was added to individual subsamples of soil (1.3 mg/kg dry st). Stock solutions of LAS were prepared in methanol. After the addition of a volume of the stock solution to the subsamples of soil, the solvent was allowed to evaporate for approximately 30 min at room temperature while flushing the spiked soil with N2. After evaporation of the solvent, the chemicals were allowed to sorb to the sludge for 24 h at 4 °C under an N2 atmosphere in order to minimize biodegradation.
Soils were moistened to 40 % of the water holding capacity (WHC), 6g wet weight quantities were transferred into glass tubes (internal diameter, 12 mm length, 50 mm) and were gently pressed into a core of approximately 25 mm. Each tube was placed in a 200-ml glass jar with a gas phase of atmospheric air. A wet filter paper was placed in each jar to minimize the water loss from the mixtures, and the jars were closed with a gas-tight lid. A glass vial containing 2 ml of 0.5 N potassium hydroxide (KOH) was placed in each jar to trap the evolved 14CO2. The jars were opened for approximately 10 min once or twice a week to restore the oxygen content of the headspace. All experiments were carried out in the dark at 15 °C in four replicates and had a duration of two months.
The DT50 of the test item was determined to be 7.5 - 8.2 days.

- Details on soil characteristics:
- The soils used in the biodegradation experiments were a coarse, sandy soil collected from the upper 20 cm of an agricultural field in Jyndevad, Denmark, a sandy soil from Lundgaard (Denmark) and a more clayey soil from Askov (Denmark). None of the soils had previously received sludge. All soils were air dried at room temperature for 20 h, sieved through a 2-mm mesh, and stored at 4 °C until use.
