As biodegradation was < 60% during the 28 days exposure period, Mortrace SB Conc. will not be considered 'readily biodegradable' under the conditions of the modified Strum test. - Results with reference substance:

- Interpretation of results:
- other: not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- As biodegradation was < 60% during the 28 days exposure period, Mortrace SB Conc. will not be considered 'readily biodegradable' under the conditions of the modified Strum test.
- Executive summary:
Mortrace SB Conc. was tested for its ready biodegradability in the modified Strum test at nominal concentrations of 10 and 20 mg/l. The relative degradation values calculated from the measurements performed during the test period revealed significant biodegradation of Mortrace SB Conc. i.e. 21% at the low concentration (10 mg/l) and 13% at the high concentration (20 mg/l). As biodegradation was < 60% during the 28 days exposure period, Mortrace SB Conc. will not be considered 'readily biodegradable' under the conditions of the modified Strum test.

- Performance of the Test
Test vessel 1 contained 155.8 ml of deionized water, to which 4.71 mg of test substance was added; test vessels 1, 2 contained 155.8 ml of mineral medium, to which 4.71 mg of test substance was added; test vessel 3 contained 155.8 ml of mineral medium, to which 15.7 mg of aniline was added; test vessel 4 was for the control blank test, containing only 155.8 ml of mineral medium. Test vessels 1 and 2 (test suspensions), 3 (activity control) and 4 (inoculum blank) were with a small volume of the inoculum to give a concentration of 100 mg/l suspended solids. The equipment was assembled and checked that it was air-tight. The stirrers were started and the measurement of oxygen uptake under conditions of darkness was initiated. The temperature and stirrer was checked on a daily basis. The oxygen uptakes were read for the six bottles directly.
According to the criterion of OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals and The Guidelines for the Testing of Chemjcals, SEPA, P.R. China, the test was considered valid. - Parameter:
- % degradation (O2 consumption)
- Value:
- 55.9
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- Treatment of Results:
Divided the oxygen uptake (mg) by the test substance (mg) after a given time, corrected for that taken up by the blank inoculum control after the same time, by the weight of the test substance used (mg). This yielded the BOD expressed as mg oxygen/mg test substance.
The percentage biodegradation was then obtained from:
% biodegradation = %ThOD = BOD (mg O2/mg substance)/ThOD (mg O2/mg substance) x 100
Results:
According to the calculation, the theoretic oxygen demanded of the test substance was 2.028 mg O2/mg test substance. The test results showed that, after 28 days test period finished, the percentage biodegradation of Marker 1 in activated sludge was 55.9%. - Parameter:
- BOD5
- Value:
- 0.7 mg O2/g test mat.
- Results with reference substance:
- The percentage degradation of aniline calculated from the oxygen consumption exceeded 40% after 7 days and 65% after 14 days.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- inherently biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results and the grading criteria with regard to ecology toxicity in the Guidelines for the Hazard Evaluation of New Chemical Substances, State Environmental Protection Agency of P.R.C. (HJ/T 154-2004) test substance Marker 1 had inherent and primary degradability, owing to its percentage biodegradation which was 55.9%, more than 20%.
- Executive summary:
The test assessed the inherent biodegradability of Marker 1 on micro-organisms in an aerobic aqueous medium by measuring its Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). The test results showed that, after 28 days test period finished, the percentage biodegradation of Marker 1 in activated sludge was 55.9%.
Based on the result and the grading criteria with regard to ecology toxicity in the Guidelines for the Hazard Evaluation of New Chemical Substances, State Environmental Protection Agency of P.R.C. (HJ/T 154-2004) the test substance, Marker 1, was concluded that it had inherent and primary degradability, owing to its percentage biodegradation which was 55.9%, more than 20%.

Description of key information
As biodegradation was < 60% during the 28 days exposure period, Mortrace SB Conc. is not be considered 'readily biodegradable' under the conditions of the modified Strum test. However, Mortrace SB Conc. is considered inherently biodegradable based on the results of the modified Miti Test.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable, fulfilling specific criteria
Additional information
Mortrace SB Conc. was assessed for biodegradability in two, valid biodegradability tests. In one test, the ready biodegradability of the test material was assessed via the modified Strum test (OECD 301B) at nominal concentrations of 10 and 20 mg/l. The relative degradation values calculated from the measurements performed during the test period revealed significant biodegradation of Mortrace SB Conc. i.e. 21% at the low concentration (10 mg/L) and 13% at the high concentration (20 mg/L). As biodegradation was < 60% during the 28 days exposure period, Mortrace SB Conc. is not considered 'readily biodegradable' under the conditions of the modified Strum test. In a second biodegradation test, Mortrace SB Conc. was evaluated for inherent biodegradation in the Modified Miti Test (OECD 302C). Based on the observation of 55.9% biodegradability, the test substance is considered inherently biodegradable.
