Description of key information
Biodegradation in water
Biodegradability of 1,1-diethoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene (CAS no. 7492 -66 -2) is predicted using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 (2017) with logKow as the primary descriptor. Test substance undergoes 1.57% degradation by BOD in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, the test chemical
1,1-diethoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene was estimated to be not readily biodegradable in water.
Biodegradation in water and sediment
Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound
1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 - dimethylocta-2,6 -diene (CAS No. 7492 -66 -2). If released in to the environment, 15.9% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene in water is estimated to be 37.5 days (900 hrs). The half-life (37.5 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is not persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to low whereas the half-life period of 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene in sediment is estimated to be 337.5 days (8100 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 1% (i.e, reported as 0.572%), indicates that 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene is not persistent
in sediment.
Biodegradation in soil
The half-life period of 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene (CAS No. 7492 -66 -2) in soil was estimated using Level III Fugacity Model by EPI Suite version 4.1 estimation database (EPI suite, 2017). If released into the environment, 83.5% of the chemical will partition into soil according to the Mackay fugacity model level III. The half-life period of 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene in soil is estimated to be 75 days (1800 hrs). Based on this half-life value of
1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene, it is concluded that the chemical is not persistent in the soil environment and the exposure risk to soil dwelling animals is moderate to low.
Additional information
Biodegradation in water
Various predicted data for the target compound1,1-diethoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene(CAS No. 7492-66-2) and various supporting weight of evidence studies for its closest read across substance with logKow as the primary descriptor were reviewed for the biodegradation end point which are summarized as below:
In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with logKow as the primary descriptor, percentage biodegradability of test chemical 1,1-diethoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene(CAS No. 7492-66-2) was estimated.Test substance undergoes 1.57% degradation by BOD in 28 days (2017). Thus, based on percentage degradation, the test chemical 1,1-diethoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene was estimated to be not readily biodegradable in water.
In another prediction using the Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI suite, 2017), the biodegradation potential of the test compound1,1-diethoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene(CAS No. 7492-66-2) in the presence of mixed populations of environmental microorganisms was estimated.The biodegradability of the substance was calculated using seven different models such as Linear Model, Non-Linear Model, Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe, Primary Biodegradation Timeframe, MITI LInear Model, MITI Non-Linear Model and Anaerobic Model (called as Biowin 1-7, respectively) of the BIOWIN v4.10 software. The results indicate that 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene is expected to be not readily biodegradable.
In a supporting weight of evidence study from authoritative database (HSDB, 2017) for the read across chemical 2,3 -dichloro-1,4 -naphthoquinone (CAS no. 117 -80 -6), biodegradation experiment was conducted for 14 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability under aerobic conditions. Initial test substance conc. used for the study was 100 mg/l. The percentage degradation of read across substance was determined to be in the range of 0 -5% by using BOD parameter in 14 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, 2,3 -dichloro-1,4 -naphthoquinone is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.
For the same read across chemical 2,3 -dichloro-1,4 -naphthoquinone (CAS no. 117 -80 -6), biodegradation study was conducted for 14 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability (J-CHECK, 2017). Concentration of inoculum i.e, sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of read across substance was determined to be 5% by GC parameter in 14 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, 2,3 -dichloro-1,4 -naphthoquinone is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.
Another biodegradation study was conducted for 28 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of read across substance 2,2'-biindole-3,3'(1H,1'H)-dione (CAS no. 482 -89 -3) (OECD SIDS, 1994). The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 301 C (Ready Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test (I)) under aerobic conditions. Concentration of inoculum i.e, sludge used was 30 mg/l as suspended solid. The percentage degradation of read across substance was determined to be 0% by BOD parameter in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, 12,2'-biindole-3,3'(1H,1'H)-dione is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.
In a supporting weight of evidence study for the read across chemical 1,1'-sulfonylbis(4 -chlorobenzene) (CAS no. 80 -07 -9), biodegradation experiment was conducted for 28 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability (J-CHECK, 2017). Concentration of inoculum i.e, sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of read across substance was determined to be 1 and 0% by BOD and HPLC parameter in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, 1,1'-sulfonylbis(4 -chlorobenzene) is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.
On the basis of above results for target chemical1,1-diethoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene(from OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 and EPI suite, 2017) and for its read across substance (from authoritative database J-CHECK, HSDB and secondary source OECD SIDS), it can be concluded that the test substance 1,1-diethoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene can be expected to be not readily biodegradable in nature.

1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 - dimethylocta-2,6 -diene (CAS No. 7492 -66 -2). If released in to the environment, 15.9% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene in water is estimated to be 37.5 days (900 hrs). The half-life (37.5 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is not persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to low whereas the half-life period of 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene in sediment is estimated to be 337.5 days (8100 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 1% (i.e, reported as 0.572%), indicates that 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene is not persistent
in sediment.
Biodegradation in soil
The half-life period of 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene (CAS No. 7492 -66 -2) in soil was estimated using Level III Fugacity Model by EPI Suite version 4.1 estimation database (EPI suite, 2017). If released into the environment, 83.5% of the chemical will partition into soil according to the Mackay fugacity model level III. The half-life period of 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene in soil is estimated to be 75 days (1800 hrs). Based on this half-life value of
