- Municipal activated sludge from the waste water treatment plant of Mannheim/Baden-Wurttemberg (Germany), stored in laboratory wastewater treatment plant which was fed with municipal sewage. The sludge was washed and aerated for 24 hours and then added to the test vessels to obtain a sludge concentration of 30 mg/L dry substance.

- Initial conc.:

- Based on:
- ThOD
- Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
- DOC removal
- Details on study design:
- The monometric respiratory test is a static method for testing the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of a test substance in water. Mixtures of the test substance, a defined inorganic medium and an inoculum, which is not pre-adopted activated sludge of a municipal or laboratory waste water treatment plant, are incubated and aerated in a respirometer (Sapromat) at 22 ±1 °C up to 28 days. The oxygen used for the biodegradation of the test substance (biochemical oxygen demand, BOD) in continuously produced and measured by the test apparatus. Primary biodegradation is also calculated from supplemental specific chemical analysis made at the beginning and the end of incubation, and in addition ultimate biodegradation by DOC analysis. Any intermediates are identified, if possible.

- Under the study conditions, the test substance is not considered to be readily biodegradable.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the ready biodegradability of the test substance according to OECD Guideline 301 F (manometric respirometry), EU Method C.4 and ISO Method 9408:1991, in compliance with GLP. The test substance, at 100 mg/L, was inoculated for 28 d in a pre-aerated microbial system collected from a municipal sewage plant. The sludge was washed and aerated for 24 h, then added to the test vessels to obtain a sludge concentration of 30 mg/L dry substance. Three assays were conducted. Under the study conditions, the test substance did not biodegrade during the test period. Measured BOD values (except for assay 3) corresponded well with the values found with DOC and specific chemical analysis. Assay 3 was not validated due to technical deficiencies (leaky) (Beimborn, 2000).

- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to evaluate the ready biodegradability of the test substance according to a modified OECD Guideline 301 E, EEC Directive 92/69/EEC and the Official Journal of the European Communities No L383 A, July 31, 1992, in compliance with GLP. The test substance at a concentration of 20 mg dissolved organic carbon (DOC)/L, a defined dilution water and, as inoculum, effluent of a laboratory waste water treatment plant fed with municipal sewage were mixed together and aerated up to 28 d at 20-25°C. Samples were taken at regular intervals to measure the DOC concentration according to DIN 38409 Part 3 (1983). Under the study conditions, the degree of biodegradation was lower than 20 mg DOC/L after 28 d. Under the study conditions, the test substance was therefore not considered to be readily biodegradable (Taeger, 1993).

Data evaluation:
If DOC decrease due to abiotic processes like stripping or adsorption may be excluded, the test substance is biodegradable. The DOC concentration at the end of the test is compared with the initial concentration. The degradation is calculated as per cent value, stated in 10%-steps and interpreted as follows:
DOC-decrease >70 % in 10 days (ready biodegradable)
DOC-decrease >70 % biodegradable
DOC-decrease 20-70 % moderately or partially biodegradable
DOC decrease <20 % poory biodegradable
