- Details on study design:
- TEST CONDITIONS
- Composition of medium: Standard mineral media as per OECD 301B. Aerated with synthetic air overnight to purge the media of CO2.
- Test temperature: 21.6 - 22.2 deg C
- pH: 7.6 - 8.6
- pH adjusted: No
- CEC (meq/100 g): Not Reported
- Aeration of dilution water: Aerated each test system (without test or reference substance) with synthetic air (CO2 < 1 ppm) overnight prior to test initiation
- Suspended solids concentration: Not reported
- Continuous darkness: Not reported. Test vessels were brown-colored bottles
- Other: Test media aerated and stirred continuously during the test period.
TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: 2-liter all-glass brown colored bottles
- Number of culture flasks/concentration: 2 for test suspension; 2 for inoculum blank, 1 for reference substance, 1 for toxicity control.
- Method used to create aerobic conditions: Continuous aeration and stirring. Synthetic air (ca. 20% oxygen and ca. 80% nitrogen) was passed through 0.0125M barium hydroxide to remove any CO2 present prior to use to aerate the test system
- Measuring equipment: CO2 production determined by titrating remaining barium hydroxide with 0.05 M standardized HCl
- Test performed in open system: yes
- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used: 100 mL of 0.0125 M Ba(OH)2) in each of three bottles connected in series to the exit air line of each exposure flask.
- Other: Test substance was not sufficiently water soluble to allow preparation of an aqueous stock solution. Weighed amounts of test substance and then 10 mL of Milli-RO water were added to weighing bottles. The weighing bottles were vigorously shaken and the resulting suspension was added quantitatively to the test bottles. The test solutions were continuously stirred during the test to ensure optimal contact between the test substance and the microorganisms.
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: Every second or third day during the first 10 days and thereafter at least every fifth day until the 28th day for the inoculum blank and test suspension. Titrations for the positive and toxicity control were made 5 times through day 14.
- Sampling method: At each sample time, the CO2 absorber nearest to the test bottle was removed for analysis. Each of the remaining two absorbers was moved one position in the direction of the test bottle and a new absorber was placed at the far end of the series. Phenolphthalein was used as a pH indicator. On the 28th day, the pH of all test solutions was measured and 1 mL of 37% HCl was added to the inoculum blank and test suspension bottles. The bottles were aerated overnight to drive off any CO2 present. The final titrations were made on day 29.
- Sterility check if applicable: Not applicable.
- Sample storage before analysis: None.
- Other: The theoretical CO2 production was calculated from the molecular formula.

- Abiotic sterile control: None
- Toxicity control: Contained test substance at 56 mg/L and sodium acetate at 40 mg/L plus mineral medium and inoculum

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- At day 14 the reference substance showed > 60% biodegradation; duplicate flasks had less than 20% difference in % biodegradation; the inorganic carbon content of the test substance in mineral medium at test initiation was < 5% of the total carbon content.
- Interpretation of results:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Conclusions:
- TFEE-5 was not readily biodegradable under test conditions
- Executive summary:
The ready biodegradability of TFEE-5 was studied in a 28-day CO2 evolution test according to OECD method 301B. Activated sludge from a domestic sewage treatment plant was used as the source of inoculum. Brown glass bottles were filled with oxygen-saturated, CO2-free medium and spiked with one of the following: TFEE-5 at 56 mg/L (12 mg TOC/L), sodium acetate (reference substance) at 40 mg/L (12 mg TOC/L), TFEE-5 plus sodium acetate (toxicity control), or inoculum alone (inoculum blank). Evolved CO2 was titrated every second or third day during the first 10 days and thereafter at least every fifth day until the 28th day for the inoculum blank and test suspension. Titrations for the positive and toxicity control were made 5 times through day 14. The 28-day biodegradation of TFEE-5 was found to be 3% by CO2 evolution. In the toxicity control more than 25% biodegradation occurred within 14 days (33%) therefore the test substance did not inhibit microbial activity. The reference substance sodium acetate showed 63% biodegradation at 14 days demonstrating the viability of the inoculum. Based on these data, TFEE-5 was found to not be readily biodegradable under the conditions of the CO2 evolution test.
This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for test method OECD301B, ready biodegradability: CO2 evolution test.
