Description of key information
Biodegradation in water ability was predicted (SSS QSAR prediction model, 2016) for the test substance Pyrazolone T (CAS no. 118-47-8) using the SSS QSAR prediction model. The ready biodegradability of the test substance Pyrazolone T was estimated as 15.81% in 28 days by using CO2 evolution parameter. This result indicates that Pyrazolone T was estimated to be not readily biodegradable in water.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
The predicted data for the test compound Pyrazolone T (CAS no. 118-47-8) and study of its read across substance were reviewed for the biodegradation end point which are summarized as below:
Biodegradation in water ability was predicted (SSS QSAR prediction model, 2016) for the test substance Pyrazolone T (CAS no. 118-47-8) using the SSS QSAR prediction model. The ready biodegradability of the test substance Pyrazolone T was estimated as 15.81% in 28 days by using CO2 evolution parameter. This result indicates that Pyrazolone T was estimated to be not readily biodegradable in water.
Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI suite) was run to predict the biodegradation potential of the test compound Pyrazolone T(CAS no. 118-47-8). The screening test inherent to the biodegradability of the substance was calculated using the software BIOWIN v4.10. The results indicate that Pyrazolone T is not expected to be readily biodegradable in nature.
Microbial decomposition of test chemical Food yellow 4 was carried out for 10 days (Yasuhide TONOGAI, 1978). The biodegradation of chemical was determined by 3 methods under aerobic conditions: Aerobic decomposition of dyes with sludge, Oxygen uptake and BOD determination. During 10 days of the aerobic experiment, the absorbance of dye solution was measured once day for 10 days. Only 20% decomposition of test chemical was obtained in10 days. 3.82 O2 mg/hg – sludge oxygen uptake was obtained in 5 –hrs test and the dissolved oxygen contents on the 5th day were essentially the same to initial ones. The low reactivity of aerobic sludge towards dyes was confirmed. Based on the results obtained from the aerobic degradation assay, Warburg method and BOD determination, it can be concluded that tartrazine is not expected to be readily biodegradable under aerobic conditions.
Biodegradation screening test (J-CHECK, 2016) was conducted for 28 days (4 weeks) for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of the test substance Edaravone. Concentration of inoculum i.e, sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l. The percentage degradation of test substance was found to be 0% by BOD, 2% by TOC and 28% by HPLC. Thus, the substance Edaravone is not expected to be not readily biodegradable in water.
On the basis of above results for target and read across substance, it can be concluded that the test substance is not expected to be readily biodegradable in nature.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
