Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable

Additional information

The biodegradability of the substance in water was determined in a ready biodegradability study according to OECD TG 301B (CO2 -Evolution Test) and in compliance with GLP criteria (BASF SE, 2016; report no. 22G0566/15G500). In this study the test substance (20 mg/L TOC nominal) was inoculated with activated sludge from a wastwater treatment plant treating predominantly domestic sewage for 28 days under aerobic conditions. During the incubation period degradation was followed by determining the carbon dioxide produced. After the 28 -day incubation period 87% of the test substance was biodegraded. The pass level of 60% degradation was reached within 16 days after the start of the test and the 10 -window criterion was met. Based on these findings, the substance is concluded to be readily biodegradable (according to OECD criteria).
