Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Justification for type of information:
- Please refer to Read Across Statement attached in Section 13
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Preliminary study:
- The test guideline recommends a test concentration of the test substance of 10 - 40 mg/L Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC). A test concentration of 20 mg/L DOC was used. The selected test concentration of 20 mg DOC/L corresponds to approximately 62 mg/L Acetic acid, oxo-, sodium salt.
It is anticipated that the selected test concentration causes no toxic effects to the microorganisms. The selected test concentration was tested in an additional inhibition control test assay and no toxic effects to the microorganisms were observed. - Test performance:
- No unusual observations during test or any other information affecting results were reported.
- Parameter:
- % degradation (DOC removal)
- Value:
- 10 - 20
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Remarks on result:
- other: mean value of two test assays
- Details on results:
- The test substance is considered as not readily biodegradable according to the OECD criteria.
- Results with reference substance:
- The reference substance (aniline) attained 91 % degradation after 14 days, based on DOC.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- All validity criteria are fulfilled according to the applied OECD Guideline.
- Interpretation of results:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Conclusions:
- The test material attained 10 - 20 % degradation after 28 days and therefore cannot be considered to be readily biodegradable under the strict terms and conditions of OECD Guideline 301A. The study was conducted under certificated GLP compliance and a well documented study report is available. The same result is expected for the target substance because the core chemical structures of EDDHA-moiety-containing constituents are the same in the source and in the target substance. Thus the same biodegradation rates are expected.
- Executive summary:
The DOC Die-Away Test is a batch test method to determine the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of a test substance in water. Mixtures of the test substance, a defined inorganic medium and a non pre-adapted inoculum (e.g. activated sludge or effluent from a municipal wastewater treatment plant) are incubated and aerated at a temperature of 22 +/- 2 °C for up to 28 days (Schwarz, 2010). Samples are taken at regular intervals to determine the Dissolved Organic Carbon concentration (DOC). The mean value of two test assays was used to determine the final biodegradation rate after the regulary exposure time. Thereby the test substance attained 10 - 20 % degradation. Based on the co-incubation with the reference substance anilin, it could be demonstrated that the test concentration used (20 mg/L DOC) was not toxic (inhibitory effect) on the sewage treatment bacteria flora. Anilin attained 91 % degradation after 14 days, indicating that the test system was suitable. In this experiment, the test substance was poorly biodegradable and is therefore considered as "not readily biodegradable" according to OECD criteria.
- Endpoint:
- biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
- Data waiving:
- study technically not feasible
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is inorganic

Description of key information
Read across: OECD 301A, not readily biodegradable - 10 - 20 % degradation after 28 days
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable
- Type of water:
- freshwater
Additional information
No experimental investigations concerning the biodegradability of the registered substance are available. Therefore, read-across from the structurally related substance Fe(Na)EDDHA (CAS 84539-55-9) was performed (BASF, 2010; Study No. 21G0753/093217). The DOC Die-Away Test is a batch test method to determine the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of the source substance Fe(Na)EDDHA in water. Mixtures of the test substance, a defined inorganic medium and a non pre-adapted inoculum (e.g. activated sludge or effluent from a municipal wastewater treatment plant) are incubated and aerated at a temperature of 22 +/- 2 °C for up to 28 days (Schwarz, 2010). Samples are taken at regular intervals to determine the Dissolved Organic Carbon concentration (DOC). The mean value of two test assays was used to determine the final biodegradation rate after the regular exposure time. Thereby the test substance attained 10 - 20 % degradation. Based on the co-incubation with the reference substance aniline, it could be demonstrated that the test concentration used (20 mg/L DOC) was not toxic (inhibitory effect) on the sewage treatment bacteria flora. Aniline attained 91 % degradation after 14 days, indicating that the test system was suitable. In this experiment, the test substance was poorly biodegradable and is therefore considered as "not readily biodegradable" according to OECD criteria.
