Executive summary:

The Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5) of FAT 40061/D was determined according to according to ISO 5815 Second Edition 1989-08-01 (E). This is achieved by measuring the dissolved oxygen concentration before and after 5 days incubation at 20 °C in different test concentrations diluted in water saturated with dissolved oxygen and containing a seed of microorganisms. The test substance was tested in concentrations from about 6 to 800 mg/l. Based on these investigations, the BOD5 of test substance was found to be 6 mg O2/g. Considering the COD value determined with the test substance which is 800 mg O2/g, the resulting BOD5/COD quotient is 0.0075, indicating that the test substance is unlikely to be biodegradable.

C.9 according to DEV H 41-1, Deutsches Einheits-Verfahren, 1980. 5 mg FAT - 40061/D dissolved in water was oxidized by potassium dichromate in a strong sulphuric acid medium with silver sulphate as a catalyst under reflux for 2 hours. The COD of the test substance was calculated from the amount of unreacted dichromate, determined by titration with standardized ferrous ammonium sulphate. Using the methodology, the COD of FAT 40061/D was found to be 800 mg O2/g.

The test was performed in compliance with the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Regulations of Switzerland. The test substance was tested in concentration of 150 mg/l DOC. Sludge of a biological sewage treatment plant (ARA-Basel Industrie) collected on 13.04.93 was used as test organism. After 28 days exposure at 22.0 ± 3°C, the DOC was estimated using Shimadzu analyzer. The bioelimination was 0 % when measured as DOC corrected by the blank control.

Additional information

The BOD5 of FAT 40061/D was found to be 6 mg O2/g, while the COD was 800 mg O2/g. The resulting BOD5/COD quotient is 0.0075, indicating that FAT 40061/D is not rapidly biodegradable. The inherent biodegradability of FAT 40061/D was determined in a 28 days (Zahn-Wellens – Test) according to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, No. 302B, Paris 1981 and the EEC-Directive, L133 (pp. 99-105) Volume 31, May 88. The bioelimination of the test substance FAT 40061/D after 28 days was 0 %. Therefore, the test item FAT 40061/D is considered as not inherently biodegradable. In the supporting studies, the Chemical Oxygen Demand of FAT 40061/A was determined to be 789.91 mg/g O2, whereas the Biological Oxygen Demand was determined to be 56 mg/g O2 at 50 mg/l concentration. Thus BOD5/COD ratio was <0.5, indicating FAT 40061/A to be not rapidly biodegradable.
