- Executive summary:
In a GLP study conducted according to OECD Guideline 301B, the inherent biodegradability of EC# 434-650-5 was investigated using a modified Sturm test. The test material was incubated with activated domestic sewage sludge under aerobic conditions in the dark for 29 days and the extent of degradation monitored by determining CO2 evolution at intervals. The degradation of a positive control substance, sodium benzoate, was also determined at a similar total organic carbon concentration (approx. 20 mg C/l). Triplicate determinations were conducted with the test substance and duplicate assays with the positive control substance.
The extent of aerobic degradation of the test substance amounted to 4.87% by day 10, 12.31% by day 21 and 22.75% by day 29. In contrast, the extent of degradation of the positive control substance, sodium benzoate, reached 10% between 2 and 5 days and 60% between days 7 and 10. Recovery of CO2 from the blank incubations was approx. 48 mg (16 mg/l) by day 29. Thus, according to the OECD criteria, the test system is valid and the test substance is not readily biodegradable under the conditions of the study.
In view of the structural and chemical similarities, it is considered that the results of this study can be used for read-across to EC# 457-320-2.

- Executive summary:
In a GLP study conducted according to OECD Guideline 301 C, the biodegradation of EC# 434-650-5 by microorganisms derived from a mixed activated sludge culture was assessed by measuring oxygen consumption and compound loss during incubation for 28 days. The test compound was incubated with activated sludge obtained from 10 sites (domestic and industrial sewage and surface soil and water) at a concentration of 100 mg/l for 28 days. Cumulative oxygen consumption was reported after 7, 14, 21 and 28 days and the concentration of test compound remaining in the cultures at 28 days determined by HPLC analysis. The validity of the test system was confirmed using aniline.
No loss of test compound was detected by chemical analysis at day 28 and the mean biodegradation assessed by biological oxygen demand (BOD) was 10% at day 28. The positive control material, aniline, was readily biodegradable in this study. Under the conditions of the test, the test substance was not readily biodegradable.
In view of the structural and chemical similarities, it is considered that the results of this study can be used for read-across to EC# 457-320-2.
