- Results with reference substance:
- The reference substance (sodium benzoate) showed 90.2% degradation after 14 days.
The toxicity control (sodium benzoate+ test substance at 100 mg/L nominal concentration) did not show toxic effects to bacteria. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- See 'Any other information on results incl. tables'.
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The test substance showed 0% degradation after 28 days. Therefore, the test substance is considered to be ''Not Readily Biodegradable'.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the ready biodegradability of the test substance. The study was conducted in accordance with 92/69/EEC Method C.4-D: Manometric Respirometry Test. This test method is in all essential parts identical with OECD Guideline 301 F. The test substance (100 mg/L nominal concentration) in a mineral medium was inoculated with activated sludge and incubated for 28 days in closed bottles under aerobic conditions in the dark. During this period the biodegradation is followed by analysis of dissolved oxygen. The test item was an N-containing substance. Therefore, the increase in concentration of nitrite and nitrate over the test period was determined. The oxygen consumed by nitrification was calculated. This oxygen consumption by nitrification was subtracted from the respective measurements. The oxygen consumed by nitrification was 0 mg/L. The test substance showed 0.5%, 0%, 0%, and 0% degradation after 7, 14, 21, and 28 days respectively. Therefore, the test substance is considered to be 'Not Readily Biodegradable'. The used concentration of the test substance did not show toxic effects to bacteria.
Reference
Validity criteria for the measurement of the biodegradation according to OECD 301:
Target condition according to guideline: | Actual condition according to the study: | Validity criteria met: |
In order to check the procedure, reference compounds which meet the criteria for ready biodegradability are tested by setting up an appropriate vessel in parallel as part of normal test runs. Suitable compounds are aniline (freshly distilled), sodium acetate and sodium benzoate. | Benzoic acid, sodium salt was used as a reference compound. | yes |
A test is considered valid if the difference of extremes of replicate values of the removal of the test chemical at the plateau, at the end of the test or at the end of the 10-d window, as appropriate, is less than 20% and if the percentage degradation of the reference compound has reached the pass levels by day 14. | The duplicates containting the test substance did not vary by more than 15% at the end of the test period (28 d). There was more than 90% degradation of the reference substance after 14 d. | yes |
If in a toxicity test, containing both the test substance and a reference compound, less than 35% degradation (based on total DOC) or less than 25% (based on total ThOD or ThCO2) occurred within 14 days, the test substance can be assumed to be inhibitory. The test series should be repeated, using a lower concentration of test substance (if this can be done without seriously impairing the accuracy of the DOC determination) and/or a higher concentration of inoculum, but not greater than 30 mg solids/L. | The used concentrations of the test substance did not show toxic effects to bacteria as 45.9% degradation occured within 14 days. | yes |
