-Test duration: 28 days for the inoculum blank and test item (last CO2 measurement on day 29). 14 days for the positive and toxicity control (last CO2 measurement on day 15). During the test period, the test media were aerated and stirred continuously.
-Test vessels: 2 litre brown coloured glass bottles.
-Milli-RO water: Tap-water purified by reverse osmosis (Milli-RO) and subsequently passed over activated carbon.
-Stock solutions of mineral components
A) 8.50 g KH2PO4
21.75 g K2HPO4
67.20 g Na2HPO4.12H2O
0.50 g NH4Cl Dissolved in Milli-RO water and made up to 1 litre, pH 7.4 ± 0.2

-Mineral medium: 1 litre mineral medium contains: 10 mL of solution (A), 1 mL of solutions (B) to (D) and Milli-RO water.
-Barium hydroxide: 0.0125 M Ba(OH)2 (Boom, Meppel, The Netherlands), stored in a sealed vessel to prevent absorption of CO2 from the air.
-Synthetic air (CO2 < 1 ppm) A mixture of oxygen (ca. 20%) and nitrogen (ca. 80%) was passed through a bottle, containing 0.5 - 1 litre 0.0125 M Ba(OH)2 solution to trap CO2 which might be present in small amounts. The synthetic air was sparged through the scrubbing solutions at a rate of approximately 1-2 bubbles per second (ca. 30-100 mL/min).
-Illumination: The test media were excluded from light.
PROCEDURE AND SAMPLING
-Pre-incubation medium: The day before the start of the test (day -1) mineral components, Milli-RO water (ca. 80% of final volume) and inoculum (1% of final volume) were added to each bottle. This mixture was aerated with synthetic air overnight to purge the system of CO2.
-Type and number of bottles.
Test suspension: containing test item and inoculum (2 bottles).
Inoculum blank: containing only inoculum (2 bottles)
Positive control: containing reference item and inoculum (1 bottle).
Toxicity control: containing test item, reference item and inoculum (1 bottle).
-Preparation: At the start of the test (day 0), test and reference item were added to the bottles containing the microbial organisms and mineral components. The volumes of suspensions were made up to 2 litres with Milli-RO water, resulting in the mineral medium described before. Three CO2-absorbers (bottles filled with 100 mL 0.0125 M Ba(OH)2) were connected in series to the exit air line of each test bottle.
-Experimental CO2 production. The CO2 produced in each test bottle reacted with the barium hydroxide in the gas scrubbing bottle and precipitated out as barium carbonate. The amount of CO2 produced was determined by titrating the remaining Ba(OH)2 with 0.05 M standardized HCl (1:20 dilution from 1 M HCl (Titrisol® ampoule), Merck, Darmstadt, Germany).
-Measurements: Titrations were made every second or third day during the first 10 days, and thereafter at least every fifth day until day 28, for the inoculum blank and test item. Titrations for the positive and toxicity control were made over a period of at least 14 days.Each time the CO2-absorber nearest to the test bottle was removed for titration; each of the remaining two absorbers were moved one position in the direction of the test bottle. A new CO2-absorber was placed at the far end of the series. Phenolphthalein (1% solution in ethanol, Merck) was used as pH-indicator. On the penultimate day, the pH of respective test suspensions was measured and 1 mL of concentrated HCl (37%, Merck) was added to the bottles of the inoculum blank and test suspension. The bottles were aerated overnight to drive off CO2 present in the test suspension. The final titration was made on day 15 (positive and toxicity control) and on day 29 (remaining vessels).
-Theoretical CO2 production: The theoretical CO2 production was calculated from the results of the TOC-analysis. - Reference substance:
- acetic acid, sodium salt
- Remarks:
- A solution of CH3COONa was prepared by dissolving 799.77mg in Milli-RO & making this up to a vol. of 200mL. Vols. of 20mL from it were added to 2l of the test med.of the + control bottle and the toxicity control bottle, final conc.of 40mg CH3COONa per l.
- Test performance:
- The ThCO2 of the test item was calculated to be 2.09 mg CO2/mg. The ThCO2 of sodium acetate was calculated to be 1.07 mg CO2/mg. Please see section "Any other information on results incl. tables" for details.

- Remarks on result:
- other:
- Remarks:
- Biodegradation is ended on day 28 by addition of HCl. Therefore, differences observed on day 29 are actually differences of day 28.
- Details on results:
- All data are presented in tables found in section "Any other information on results incl. tables". The results of CO2 production and biodegradation in blank bottles, background bottles and each test bottle are listed in Table 2 to 8. Biodegradation of the test item (bottle A&B), positive control (sodium acetate) and toxicity control are presented in figure 1.
- Results with reference substance:
- 1 The positive control item was biodegraded by at least 60% (85%) within 14 days.
2. The difference of duplicate values for %-degradation of the test item was always less than 20 (≤ 5%).
3.The total CO2 release in the blank at the end of the test did not exceed 40 mg/L (50.6 mg CO2 per 2 litres of medium, corresponding to 25.3 mg CO2/L).
4.The Inorganic Carbon content (IC) of the test item (suspension) in the mineral medium at the beginning of the test was less than 5% of the Total Carbon content (TC). Since the test medium was prepared in tap-water purified by reverse osmosis (Milli-RO water (Millipore Corp., Bedford, Mass., USA, carbon levels < 500 ppb)), IC was less than 5% of TC (mainly coming from the test item, 12 mg TOC/L).
Since all criteria for acceptability of the test were met, this study was considered to be valid. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- None of the deviations were considered to have impacted the overall integrity of the study or the interpretation of the study results and conclusions.
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The test fulfills all validity criteria mentioned in OECD 301B guideline and it was conducted in compliance with GLP. After 28 days biodegrability of the substance was 34%. Based on the results it was concluded that the test substance is not readily biodegradable according to OECD 301B.
- Executive summary:
Fatty acids, C18-unsatd., phosphates was a yellow liquid UVCB of unknown purity, and was not sufficiently soluble to allow preparation of an aqueous solution at a concentration of 1 g/L. The Total Organic Carbon (TOC) content of the test item was determined to be 57.01%. Based on the TOC content the ThCO2of the test item was calculated to be 2.09 mg CO2/mg. The test item was tested in duplicate at a target concentration of 21 mg/L, corresponding to 12 mg TOC/L.
The study consisted of six bottles:
· 2 inoculum blanks (no test item),
· 2 test bottles (Fatty acids, C18-unsatd., phosphates),
· 1 positive control (sodium acetate) and
· 1 toxicity control (Fatty acids, C18-unsatd., phosphates plus sodium acetate).
Since the test item was not sufficiently soluble to allow preparation of an aqueous solution at a concentration of 1 g/L, weighed amounts were added to the 2-litres test bottles containing medium with microbial organisms and mineral components. To this end, 10 mL of Milli-RO water was added to each weighing bottle containing the test item. After vigorous mixing (vortex) the resulting suspension was added quantitatively to the test medium. The test solutions were continuously stirred during the test to ensure optimal contact between the test item and test organisms. Test duration was 28 days for the inoculum blank and test item (last CO2measurement on day 29) and 14 days for the positive and toxicity control (last CO2measurement on day 15).
The relative biodegradation values calculated from the measurements performed during the test period revealed 34% and 33% biodegradation of Fatty acids, C18-unsatd., phosphates (based on ThCO2), for the duplicate bottles tested. Thus, the criterion for ready biodegradability (at least 60% biodegradation within a 10-day window) was not met.
In the toxicity control, the test item was found not to inhibit microbial activity. Since all criteria for acceptability of the test were met, this study was considered to be valid.
In conclusion,the test item was designated as not readily biodegradable.

The test fulfills all validity criteria mentioned in OECD 301 B guideline and it was conducted in compliance with GLP. The test determined 34% degradation after 28 days. Therefore the test item can be concluded as “not readily biodegradable”.
The key value for CSA was selected based on the result from the OECD 301B, the substance is considered not readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Type of water:
- freshwater
Additional information
EPISuite, Model BIOWIN v4.10 estimated aerobic and anaerobic biodegradability of organic chemicals using 7 different models. Two of these are the original Biodegradation Probability Program (BPP™). The seventh and newest model estimated anaerobic biodegradation potential. It was concluded as not biodegradable.
