Description of key information
In the key study the ready biodegradability of the test item 2 -decyltetradecanoic acid was determined with a non-adapted activated sludge over a test period of 35 days in the Modified Sturm Test according to OECD 301 B.
Four of six replicates reached a mean of 63 % biodegradation after 28 days. Therefore under the test conditions the test item 2-decyltetradecanoic acid is classified as readily biodegradable, but failing the 10-day-window.
In a supporting study according to OECD 301 F 2 -decyltetradecanoic acid did not meet the 10-day window for ready biodegradable status. It consistently and uniquely fails and exceeds the criterion of less than 20 % ThOD difference between replicates in three tests. However, based on the extent of the biodegradabalility at the end of the 28-day with some replicates % ThOD greater than 60 %, 2-Decyltetradecanoic acid can be considered inherently biodegradable.
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
