Any other information on results incl. tables

The test compound ZK 67985 was degraded to 0% on day 29 (28 days of incubation). The reference compound sodium acetate was degraded to 87% on day 6 and to 96% on day 29 (28 days of incubation).

In the toxicity control, the reference compound (sodium acetate) plus the test compound

ZK 67985, was degraded to 45% on day 29 (28 days of incubation), which reflected the degradation in the individual sets.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
The test compound ZK 67985 is not readily biodegradable under the conditions of the test and it was not toxic to the microbes of activated sludge.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to detennine the ready biodegradability of Dienolacetat-ketal (ZK 67985), which is an

intermediate of the synthesis of different estrogens. The study was conducted in agreement with the OECD test guideline no. 301F.

The test substance was incubated in an aqueous solution including nutrients with microorganisms from a municipal sewage treatment plant for 28 days.The biological degradation of the test and reference substances was evalua.ted by measurement of

the O2 consumption during the test period.

The test compound Dienolacetat-ketal was degraded to 0% on day 29 (28 days of incubation) Accordingly, Dienolacetat-ketal is not readily biodegradable under the conditions of the test and it was not toxic to the microbes of activated sludge.
