key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
under GLP, validity criteria met
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 301 F (Ready Biodegradability: Manometric Respirometry Test)
GLP compliance:
yes
Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, domestic (adaptation not specified)
Duration of test (contact time):
28 d
Initial conc.:
85 mg/L
Based on:
test mat.
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
O2 consumption
Details on study design:
TEST SYSTEM- Test mixture containing 85 mg/L test substance, anorganic medium and 10mL non-adapted activated sludge from a laboratory wastewater treatment plant treating municipal wastewater were incubated for 28 days in a respirometer- The BOD for each treatment including the controls were measured daily and compared to the ThOD- Replicates: for statistical reasons seven replicates were prepared.
Reference substance:
aniline
Key result
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
ca. 91
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
The adaptation phase was approximately 4 days. Within the 10-day window the substance was biodegraded for >60 % which indicates ready biodegradation.Kinetic of test substance (in %): < 10 after 4 day(s)= 74 after 14 day(s)ca. 91 after 25 day(s)
Results with reference substance:
The biodegradation of the control substance aniline was 85 % within 28 days. Kinetic of control substance (in %): = 85 after 28 day(s)
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable

Description of key information

Biodegradability of the test substance was investigated in a OECD301F guideline study under GLP. Test substance concentration was 85 mg/L and sludge used was from a sewage treatment plant treating domestic waste water. The substance was readily biodegradable, based on 91% degradation in 28 d, meeting the 10d window.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable
