Applicant's summary and conclusion
Validity criteria
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Total CO2 production (mineralization) from KDB-Base in sewage influent averaged 64% after 10 days over a concentration range of 50-250 ug/L. 22% of the radioactivity was associated with the solids, and 14% remained in the influent. The half life of parent disappearance was ~0.6 days, and the half life of mineralization was ~2 days.
- Executive summary:
The biodegradation of C12/14 alkyl dimethyl hydroxyethyl ammonium chloride (KDB) was evaluated in a raw sewage die away study according to the OECD 314A guidelines. KDB was tested at 3 concentrations (50, 100, 250 ug/L) for 10 days.
The mineralization (CO2 production) of the test substance was 64% after a 10 day test period (mean of the 3 test concentrations). After 10 days, 22% of the radioactivity was associated with the solids, and only 14% of the initial test substance remained in the influent. No intermediates were found in the test solutions.
The kinetics of primary degradation and mineralization of KDB was calculated for each test concentration. The half life for parent disappearance was ~0.6 days, and the half life for mineralization was ~2 days, for the 50 and 250 ug/L test concentrations. The half lives were longer at the 100 ug/L test concentration.
This biodegradation study satisfies the guideline requirements for the OECD 314A raw sewage die away study.
