Comment on stability of the product in water soln.:
After the end of this test, a quasi-theoretical value of DOC was detected in water soln., and the following points were observed:
- LC analysis shows a disappearence of a pic of the product.
- UV absorption at 287 mm disappeared.
- pH value decreased: pH 5.4 at starting point and 3.9 after 4 weeks.
These phenomenon indicated that a covalent bond alpha and beta-unsaturated ketones received some alternation (for ex. poolarization due to bond cutting). This product is easy to decompose. Identification of the decomposed products were not done. Nevertheless, the result of the test says that this product is biodegradable. - Results with reference substance:

- Executive summary:
This study assessed the biodegradability of the test substance by activated sludge microorganism. This study was not performed according to OECD Guideline and GLP requirements and the documentation is not sufficient to assess the reliability of the study.

After the termination of cultivation, the test solutions were pretreated to prepare the sample for liquid chromatography (LC) and TOC analysis.
Biodegradation was 97% by analysis of O2 consumption and 96% by TOC after 28 days. A final biodegradability was not calculated by LC because the product decomposed in water. Endeed, LC analysis shows a disappearence of a pic of the product, UV absorption at 287 mm disappeared and pH value decreased (pH 5.4 at starting point and 3.9 after 28 days).

Ready biodegradability prediction (YES or NO):
Criteria for the YES or NO prediction: if the Biowin 3 result is "weeks" or faster (i.e. "days", "days to weeks", or "weeks") AND the Biowin 5 probability is >= 0.5, then the prediction is YES (readily biodegradable). If this condition is not satisfied, the prediction is NO (not readily biodegradable). This method is based on application of Bayesian analysis to ready biodegradation data. Biowin 5 and 6 also predict ready biodegradability, but for degradation in the OECD 301C test only; using data from the Chemicals Evaluation and Research Institute Japan (CERIJ) database.
Description of key information
Weight of evidence approach using experimental study (no Guideline followed) and QSAR data (Biowin v4.10):
Readily biodegradable
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
To assess the ready biodegradability of the registered substance, a weight of evidence approach was used based on one experimental study and one QSAR.
The experimental study (Nihon Firmenich KK, 1981) was performed on the registered substance but was not conducting according to OECD Guideline / GLP statement and the documentation is not sufficient to assess the reliability of the study. The test substance (at 100 ppm) was exposed to activated sludge (at 30 ppm) with culture medium in closed conditions for 28 days. The degradation of the test substance was assessed by the measurement of oxygen consumption. In addition, after the termination of cultivation, the test solutions were pretreated to prepare the sample for liquid chromatography (LC) and TOC analysis. According to the results of this study, the biodegradation was 97% by analysis of oxygen consumption and 96% by TOC after 28 days. A final biodegradability was not calculated by LC because the product decomposed in water. Endeed, LC analysis shows a disappearence of a pic of the product, UV absorption at 287 mm disappeared and pH value decreased (pH 5.4 at starting point and 3.9 after 28 days). These phenomenon indicated that a covalent bond alpha and beta-unsaturated ketones received some alternation (for ex. poolarization due to bond cutting). This product is easy to decompose. Identification of the decomposed products were not done. Nevertheless, we can conclude that the registered substance is biodegradable.
The QSAR data was performed on the registered substance. The model used is Biowin v4.10, plug-in from EPISUITE v4.1 from US EPA. This model is recommended by the ECHA guidance document on information requirements and is well documented with regard to validation parameters according to OECD principles. Moreover, the substance is fully characterised for the applicability domain. The Biowin 3 result is "weeks" and the Biowin 5 probability is >0.5, therefore it's expected that the substance is readily biodegradable.
In conclusion, as we obtained similar results between the experimental and the predicted data, we can conclude, based on this weight of evidence approach, that the registered substance is readily biodegradable.
