- Value:

- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- In the test solutions (sludge + test item)-1, -2 and -3, BOD measured. The percentage biodegradation by BOD was 49-50% and the BOD chart reached plateau after 14 days. The percentage residue of the test item by GC was 23-39% on the basis of the total peak area. The percentage residue of each peak of the test item was also calculated. As a result, the percentage residue of the peak 1 to 3 was disappeatd, that of the peak 4-9 was decreased (19-92%) and the degree of the decrease varied depending on the test solutions. On the other hand, the percentage residue of the peak 10 was 101%. The percentage residue of the peak 11 was 113-146%. The increase of BOD suggested that biodegradation of the peak 1 to 3 of which content ratio was 53% on the basis of the peak area on GC chromatograms. Four peaks in addition to the
test item peaks were detected on GC chromatogram. Therefore, the result indicated that the degradation products were produced by microorganisms in the test solution (sludge + test item). - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions of this preliminary test, some of the test item was disappeared and plural degradation products were produced by bidegradaton. The residual test item and the degradation products were remained in the test solution.

- Details on inoculum:
- Activated sludge was obtained from an aeration tank of a sewage treatment plant treating predominantly domestic sewage in Kurume-shi Fukuoka, Japan
The activated sludge was aerated at about 22°C until use for the test. - Duration of test (contact time):

- Initial conc.:
- 100 mg/L
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Details on study design:
- Concentration of test item 100 mgL

Volume of test solution 300 mL
Incubation temperature 22+/-1°C
Incubation duration 28 days (under dark conditions)
Observation of test solutions: At the start and the end of the incubation
Measurement of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD): During the incubation period - Reference substance:
- benzoic acid, sodium salt
- Test performance:
- The difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the percentage biodegradtion by BOD in the test solutions (sludge + test item) did not meet one of the validity criteria (less than 20%). However, it was judged that there was no impacts on quality and integrity of the study and the biodegradebility of the test item can be evaluated on the basis of the results of the test because the difference could be considered not to be caused by mishandling andlor malfhction of the instruments, but by characteristics of the test item. (Table1)
- Key result
- Parameter:
- other: % degradation by BOD
- Value:
- 55
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- no
- Remarks:
- but no impacts on quality and integrity of the study
- Interpretation of results:
- inherently biodegradable, not fulfilling specific criteria
- Conclusions:
- The averages of percentage biodegradation were 55% by BOD and 77% by GC. In addition, growth of the sludge was observed at the end of the incubation.
The test item underwent biodegradation under the test conditions of this study. According to OECD test guideline 301F, the pass level for ready biodegradability is 60% biodegradation by BOD on Day 28 and in the 10-day window. In the study, the percentage
biodegradation by BOD on Day 28 in the test vessel No. 1 (43%) and that in the loday window in the test vessels Nos. 1 and 2 (34% and 50%) did not reach the pass level although that by BOD in the test vessel No. 2 on Day 28 (67%) reached the pass level. The GC analysis showed that all of the test item components underwent primary degradation and 6 components of the 14 components disappeared completely. In addition , 11 degradation products were detected by LC-MS. Therefore, it was concluded that the test item was considered not a ready biodegradable substance although it seemed to have inherent biodegradability because the percentage biodegradation by BOD was 67% in one of the test solutions and the BOD curves of the test solutions were rising on Day 28.

Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable, not fulfilling specific criteria
- Type of water:
- freshwater
Additional information
The substance is considered rapidly degradable in the environment as follows:
- Substance reached>70% biodegradation by GC examination.
- One of the test vessel almost reached 70% biodegradation on basis of BOD within 28 days. It is highly possible that the substance would reach >70% if the test was reconducted.
- CLP paragraph 4.1.2.9.3 "Many degradation data are available in the form of degradation half-lives and these can be used in defining rapid degradation provided that ultimate biodegradation of the substance, i.e. full mineralisation, is achieved. Primary biodegradation does not normally suffice in the assessment of rapid degradability unless it can be demonstrated that the degradation products do not fulfil the criteria for classification as hazardous to the aquatic environment."
Several degradants were identified and 60.2% of the components achieved complete mineralisation within the scope of the test, with other major degradants showing significant onwards degradation.
The available information seems to indicate that the substance would be considered to be "rapidly degradable", provisionally as being inherently biodegradable. With the absence of an actual inherent biodegradation test, it is not possible to state definitively that this is the case, however, there is significant evidence from the OECD 301F study that mineralisation within the environment would occur under relevant conditions.
