Biodegradation in soil
Administrative data

- Justification for data waiving:

- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
The results of a biodegradation test, performed according to OECD 301C, showed 1% biodegradation based on BOD and 2% biodegradation based on test material analysis at 28 days. No peak was observed in the HPLC chromatograms from a degradation product.
From the results of the ready biodegradation test, it is observed that no degradation products are formed in 28 days. If this is observed in a study with sludge, certainly no degradation products are anticipated in soil.
As the substance is not classified, no exposure and risk assessments are needed and thus no further degradation testing is proposed. Furthermore, as the substance itself is experimentally determined not to bioaccumulate (BCF < 61 L/kg) and thus not B/vB, no further information is needed on the Persistency (in accordance with the PBT Guidance Figure 11.3, step 4 (further information needed if substance also potentially B)).

- Details on inoculum:
- - Source of inoculum: On-site sludge sampling was carried out at 10 locations in Japan (samples were from surface water and surface soil of rivers, lake, and inland sea, and return sludge from sewage plants). (sampling period: July, 2020, initiation date of use: August 20, 2020).
- Preparation of inoculum: The activated sludge, which was cultivated for 19 hours after feeding with the synthetic sewage, was used. The synthetic sewage was prepared according to the following method: glucose, peptone, and potassium dihydrogenphosphate were dissolved in purified water, and the pH of the solution was adjusted to 7.0±1.0.
- Concentration of sludge: 3240 mg suspended solids/L.
- Concentration suspended solids in test concentration: Additive amount of the activated sludge into the test vessel was 2.78 mL (30 mg suspended solids/L). - Duration of test (contact time):

- TEST CONDITIONS
- Composition of medium: The basal culture medium (4 L) was prepared at the same proportion as the following method: each 3 mL aliquot of solutions A, B, C, and D, which are described in JIS K 0102:2019 Section 21 , was added to purified water (The Japanese Pharmacopoeia, Takasugi Pharmaceutical) and mixed solution was made up to 1 L.

- temperature measurement: The incubation temperature was measured and recorded once a day.
- pH measurement: At the end of the incubation period of the blank control and the test solution.
- Test performed in closed vessels: yes
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: At the end of the incubation period.
- Other: Determination of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was not conducted because water solubility of the test item was less than 100 mg/L.

- Conclusions:
- The test item was not biodegraded under the test conditions of this study.
- Executive summary:
A biodegradtion test was performed according to OECD 301C with Pegafast 425. The test item was tested in triplicate at a concentration of 100 mg/L. The incubation period ws 28 days. During the incubation period the BOD was measured on day 7, 14,21 and 28. At the end of the test period the concentration of the remaining test item was measured with HPLC. The test revealed a percentage biodegradtion by BOD of 1% at 28 days. At the end of the study the amount of test item remaining was 98% of initial.
In conclusion, pergafast 425 is not readily biodegradable.
Analytical results of the test solutions on Day 28 were as follows.
Water + test item | Sludge + test item | theoretical amount | ||||
vessel no. 2 | vessel no. 3 | vessel no. 4 | ||||
BOD*2 | mg | 70.5 | ||||
Residual amount and percentage of test item (by HPLC) | mg | 29.9 | 29.2 | 29.2 | 29.2 | 30.0 |
100 | 97 | 97 | 97 |
*2 The value of the test solution (control blank) was subtracted from the values of the test solutions (sludge + test item).
