Description of key information

In the screening study according to OECD TG 301D 14% biodegradation was found after 28 days. This study shows that the substance is not readily biodegradable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Type of water:
freshwater

Additional information

The ready biodegradability was determined in the Closed Bottle test (OECD TG 301D) performed according to slightly modified OECD, EU and ISO Test Guidelines, and in compliance with the OECD principles of Good Laboratory Practice. The test substance did not cause a reduction in the endogenous respiration (at 1 mg/L). The test substance is therefore considered to be non-inhibitory to the secondary activated sludge. The validity criteria of the test were met. Pino Acetald was biodegraded by 14% at day 28 in the Closed Bottle test. In the prolonged Closed Bottle test, the test item was biodegraded by 72 % at day 60 (enhanced biodegradability testing). This result demonstrates that the test substance is not readily biodegradable. Biodegradation percentages of >60 within a 60-day time period allow classification of the test substance as not persistent.
