Study design
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- sewage, predominantly domestic, non-adapted
- Remarks:
- (aqueous phase)
- Details on inoculum:
- - Source of inoculum/activated sludge (e.g. location, sampling depth, contamination history, procedure): Activated sludge from the sewage plant at Hildesheim is well suited as it receives predominantly municipal sewage and hardly industrial chemical waste.
- Pretreatment: The activated sludge was washed twice with autoclaved tap water. After the second washing the settled sludge was filled up with mineral salts medium and was maintained in an aerobic condition by aeration for 4 hours. Thereafter the sludge was homogenized with a blender. The supernatant was decanted and maintained in an aerobic condition by aeration with CO2 free air for 2 days. 10 mL/L were used to initiate inoculation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The test item must be regarded as not readily biodegradable in the 10-d-window and after 47 days.
- Executive summary:
The ready biodegradability of the test item was determined with a non adapted activated sludge over a test period of 47 days in the Modified Sturm Test. The study was conducted from 2010-01-19 to 2010-03-10 according to OECD 301B (GLP). The test item was tested corresponding to a carbon concentration of 13 mg C/L in duplicates. The biodegradation of the test item was followed by titrimetric analysis of the quantity of CO2 produced by the respiration of bacteria. The degradation was stopped on day 47 by acidification of the test solutions. The last titration was made on day 48, after residual CO2 had been purged from the test solutions over a period of 24 h. The percentage CO2 production was calculated in relation to the theoretical CO2 production (ThCO2) of the test item. The biodegradation rate was calculated for each titration time. To check the activity of the test system, sodium benzoate was used as functional control. The percentage degradation of the functional control reached the pass level of 60 % after 6 days and came to 100 % after 35 days. In the toxicity control containing both test and reference item a biodegradation rate of 46 % was determined within 14 days and it came to 71 % after 47 days. The biodegradation of the reference item was not inhibited by the test item in the toxicity control. The test item reached the 10 % level (beginning of biodegradation) after 10 days. In the 10-d-window a mean biodegradation rate of 28 % was reached. The 1st test item replicate did not reach the 60 % pass level, after 47 days a biodegradation rate of 43 % was reached. The 2nd test item replicate reached the pass level of 60 % after 46 days and came to 69 % on day 47. The mean biodegradation rate after 47 days was 56 %. In conclusion, especially the biodegradation kinetics of the 2nd test replicate revealed that the test item is potentially inherently biodegradable.
Biodegradation of the test item in comparison to the functional control and toxicity control:
