- Details on inoculum:
- - Source of inoculum/activated sludge: Municipal sewage treatment plant, Hildesheim, Germany.
- Storage conditions and preparation of inoculum for exposure: The activated sludge was washed twice with chlorine free tap water. After the second washing the settled sludge was re-suspended in mineral salts medium and was maintained in an aerobic condition by aeration for 2 h. Thereafter the sludge was homogenized with a blender. After sedimentation the supernatant was decanted and maintained in an aerobic condition by aeration with CO2-free air for 7 d.

- Solubilising agent (type and concentration if used): The test item stock solution of 52.5 mg test item/ 5 mL silicone oil was prepared by weighing out of the test item in a GC-Vial and adding the necessary amount of silicone oil. The stock solution was vortexed until the test item was completely dissolved. 250 mL inoculated test medium were filled in the brown glass bottles of the test item replicates. 500 µL test item – silicone oil stock solution were pipetted directly into the inoculated test medium.

- pH: 7.57 - 7.92 (at test start the pH-values of the prepared solutions in the measuring flasks (inoculum control and functional control) and the prepared solutions in the separate replicates (inoculum control with silicone oil, test item and toxicity control), were determined. At test end the pH-values of the test solutions in the brown glass bottles were determined.)
- Suspended solids concentration: 10 mL sludge/L were used to initiate inoculation.
- Continuous darkness: yes
- Other: continuous stirring
TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: 500 mL brown glass bottles, with 250 mL test volume. The bottles were closed with OxiTop measuring heads.

- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used: A rubber sleeve with soda lime was hung into the opening of the bottles to absorb evolved CO2.
SAMPLING
- Sampling method and frequency: The oxygen consumption was determined in the incubation vessels by the OxiTop® measuring system at 360 measuring points during the 60 d incubation period.

Description of key information
Not readily biodegradable (25% after 28 d and 34% after 60 d, OECD 301F)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One study is available (2017) investigating the biodegradation of the substance and was performed according to OECD guidance 301F and GLP. The inoculum (non-adapted activated sludge from a sewage treatment plant) was exposed for 60 days to 21 mg/L test substance (50.4 mg/L ThOD) and biodegradation was calculated based on O2 consumption. Silicone oil was used as a solubilizing agent. An inoculum control, an inoculum control with silicone oil, a functional control and a toxicity control were run in parallel. The substance reached a biodegradation value of 25% after 28 d and 34% after 60 d. The percentage degradation of the functional control reached the pass level of 60% within 4 days while the toxicity control reached the pass level of 25% biodegradation within 4 days. Therefore, the substance is not considered readily biodegradable and not inhibitory to activated sludge microorganisms.
