All samples were mixed by stirring in a single container for 1 h and then settled for 1 h. The supernatant was transferred to a culture tank after removing the floating foreign matter. The culture was aerated the temperature was maintained at 25 ± 2°C and adjusted to pH 7.0 ± 1.0. Approximately 1/3 of the whole volume of the supernatant was removed and an equal volume of synthetic sewage (1g of glucose, 1g of peptones and 1g of monopotassium phosphate are dissolved in 1 litre of water and the solution is adjusted to pH 7.0 ± 1.0 with sodium hydroxide) was added to the remaining portion of the supernatant everyday.
The inoculum consists of samples from multipe sites to cover different environmental conditions. The above inoculum is suitable to investigate different potential exposure scenarios of the test substance in the test.
BOD determination started at 11th Nov. 2015. A fresh sample of activated sludge was collected from the culture tank cleaned and washed three times with mineral medium. The sludge was separated by centrifuging for 20 minutes at about 4000 rpm. A small amount of the washed sludge was weighed and dried to calculate the water content (105°C, 1h). The dry weight was 6.96 %.

The degradation percentage of toxicity control on day 14 was 52 %, which was higher than the toxicity inhibition level (> 25 %). lt is concluded that the test substance has no inhibitory effects on the inoculum at the concentration of 30 mg/L.
The results of DOC determination showed that the DOC of inoculum control group (IB), test substance group (TS) and abiotic control group (AC) at zero-time were 1.51 mg/L, 14.80 mg/L and 15.04 mg/L, respectively. The DOC of IB was 1.20 mg/L, the average DOC of TS was 14.96 mg/L and the DOC of AC was 15.04 mg/L at the 28th day. The DOC removal of test substance at the 28th day was 9%. - Results with reference substance:
- According to the cumulative oxygen consumption, the mean degradation percentage of the reference substance were 69% and 77% after 7 and 14 days, respectively. Quality control requirements of the test are that the degradation percentage of the reference substance exceeds 40 % and 65 % after 7 days and 14 days, respectively. Hence, the test is considered to be valid.

- Executive summary:
The study of inherent biodegradation was performed in compliance with GLP and according to OECD Guideline 302C, the modified MITI test II "Ministry of environmental pratection of the people's Republic of China, The Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals-Degradation and Accumulation, 2013, 302C lnherent Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test II" and "OECD, Guidelines for the Testing af Chemicals, 1981, 302C lnherent Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test (II)".
The results of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) indicated that the cumulative oxygen consumption level of three replicates of test substance group were 103 mg/L , 104 mg/L and 101 mg/L, respectivly. They were very similar to the mean oxygen consumption of blank controls (110 mg/L).
