- Conclusions:
- In this CO2 Evolution Test, the biodegradation after 28 days was < 10%. Thus, the test item is not considered to be readily biodegradable.
- Executive summary:
The biodegradability of the test item was determined by measurement of the carbon dioxide production in the CO2 -Evolution Test according to OECD Guideline 301 B and EU Method C.4 -C under GLP conditions. Mixtures of the test substance, a defined inorganic medium and a non pre-adapted inoculum were incubated and aerated at room temperature up to 28 days in this static method.
The degradation in the toxicity control achieved 42% after 14 days. After 28 days the biodegradation was 48%. The validity criterion (biodegradation > 25% after 14 days) that the test item should not inhibit the biodegradation of the reference item was fulfilled . Degradation in the reference control was 80-90 % CO2/ThCO2 after 14 days. The validity criterion that the degradation should be > 60% after 14 days was fulfilled. The validity criteria of the Guideline are fulfilled.
Both test item replicates did not reach the 10% level within the 28 day period of the study. Thus, the test item is not readily biodegrdable under the test conditions chosen.

The solid material was re-suspended in tap water and again centrifuged. This procedure was repeated twice. An aliquot of the final sludge suspension was weighed, dried and the ratio of wet sludge to its dry weight was determined. Based on this ratio, calculated aliquots of washed sludge suspension, corresponding to 1.5 g dry material per litre were mixed with test water and then aerated until use.

CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
- Inoculum blank: activated sludge + dilution water
- Abiotic sterile control: test item + dilution water
- Toxicity control: test item + positive control + activated sludge + dilution water
- Positive control: reference item + activated sludge + dilution water
- Reference substance:
- benzoic acid, sodium salt
- Key result
- Parameter:
- % degradation (O2 consumption)
- Value:
- 5
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- In the toxicity control containing both, the test item and the reference item sodium benzoate, 41 % biodegradation was noted within 14 days and 42 % biodegradation was determined after 28 days of incubation. Thus, the test item can be assumed to be not inhibitory on the activated sludge microorganisms because degradation was > 25 % within 14 days.
The oxygen demand in the abiotic control was 0 mg/L - Results with reference substance:
- The reference item sodium benzoate was sufficiently degraded to 99 % after 14 days, and to 105 % after 28 days of incubation.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The degradation rate of the test item did not reach 60 % within the 10-day window and after 28 days of incubation. The test item is considered not to be readily biodegradable.
- Executive summary:
The test item was investigated for its ready biodegradability in a Manometric Respirometry Test over a period of 28 days. The biodegradation was followed by the oxygen uptake of the micro-organisms during exposure. As a reference item sodium benzoate was tested simultaneously under the same conditions as the test item, and functioned as a procedure control.
The reference item sodium benzoate was sufficiently degraded to 99 % after 14 days, and to 105 % after 28 days of incubation (ThODNH4).
In the toxicity control containing both, the test item and the reference item sodium benzoate, 41 % biodegradation was noted within 14 days and 42 % biodegradation was determined after 28 days of incubation. Thus, the test item can be assumed not to be inhibitory on the activated sludge microorganisms.
The study is valid.
The test item was not degraded after 28 days of incubation. The degradation rate of the test item did not reach 60 % within the 10-day window and after 28 days of incubation. The test item is considered not to be readily biodegradable.

Description of key information
In the CO2 Evolution Test (OECD 301B), the biodegradation after 28 days was < 10%. Thus, the test item is not considered to be readily biodegradable.
In the Manometric Respiratory Test (OECD 301F), the degradation rate of the test item was 5% and thus did not reach 60 % within the 10-day window and after 28 days of incubation. The test item is considered not to be 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 of the test item was investigated in a CO2 Evolution Test (OECD 301B) and in a Manometric Respiratory Test (OECD 301F).
In the CO2 Evolution Test (OECD 301B), the biodegradation after 28 days was < 10%. In the Manometric Respiratory Test (OECD 301F), the degradation rate of the test item was 5% and thus did not reach 60 % within the 10-day window and after 28 days of incubation. In both tests, the validity criteria of the Guideline were fulfilled.
