- TEST METHOD
Test solutions were prepared in glass bottles with volume of 10 liters. Each group of test solutions was immediately dispensed into 20 BOD bottles by hose from the lower quarter (not the bottom) of the glass bottle with a silicone tube. Air-bubble was avoided during the dispersion and all the BOD bottles were completely filled with test system solutions. After sealing with the stoppers (air-bubble free), the BOD bottles were incubated at 19.7-20.3°C in incubator. Dissolved oxygen, pH value and temperature of the test solutions were measured 0, 1, 4, 7, 11, 14, 18, 21, 25 and 28 day(s) after the test beginning by electrode method. Two bottles in each group at each time interval were removed from incubation for analysis. Oxygen consumption and biodegradation of each group were calculated.
INOCULUM
5 mL inoculum was introduced into 10 L test system, that is 0.5 mL/L (inoculum/mineral medium). The inoculated bacterial count in the test system was measured as 5.90 x 10000 cells/L.
MINERAL MEDIUM
- Stock solution A: 8.5 g/L KH2PO4, 21.75 g/L K2HPO4, 33.4 g/L Na2HPO4.2H2O, 0.5 g/L NH4Cl
- Stock solution B: 27.5 g/L CaCl2
- Stock solution C: 22.5 g/L MgSO4.7H2O
- Stock solution D: 0.25 g/L FeCl3.6H2O
- Mineral medium: 10 mL solution A + 1 mL solution B + 1 mL solution C + 1 mL solution D + ultrapure water up to 1L (pH adjusted to 7.4+/- 0.2 with a diluted hydrochloric acid solution)
TEST SYSTEM
- Inoculum blank: 20 replicates (mineral medium + inoculum)
- Test substance: 20 replicates (mineral medium + 5 mg/L test substance + inoculum)
- Procedure control (reference): 20 replicates (mineral medium + 2 mg/L reference substance + inoculum)
- Toxicity control: 20 replicates (mineral medium + 2 mg/L
- Reference substance:
- benzoic acid, sodium salt

- Conclusions:
- No biologically-relevant degradation of the test item was observed during the 28-day test period. Therefore, the test item should be considered not readily biodegradable under the conditions of the test
- Executive summary:
The ultimate aerobic biodegradability of the test itemwas investigated in a GLP-compliant ready biodegradability screening study performed in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 301D. No biologically-relevant degradation of the test item was observed during the28-day test period. Therefore, the test item should be considered not readily biodegradable under theconditions of the test
Reference
Test Substance Bottles
The average biodegradation percentage in the test substance bottles containing 5 mg/L of test substance was -1% on Day 14, -1% on Day 28.
Toxicity Control Bottles
The average biodegradation percentage in the toxicity control bottles containing 5 mg/L of test substance was 36% on Day 14. Therefore, the test item was not inhibitory to the activity of the microbial inoculum based on the test criteria (≥25% ThOD).
Method Validation
During the test, the temperature was maintained at 19.7-20.3°C. The mean oxygen depletion in inoculum blanks was 0.67 mg/L, less than 1.5 mg/L by the end of the test. Residual concentration of oxygen in BOD bottles did not fall below 0.5 mg/L during the test. The pH values were between 6.64 and 7.47. The difference between replicate values was within 20% during the test. The mean biodegradation of the reference substance was 85% by Day 14, which reached the pass level of ready biodegradation test (>60% within 14 days). The results of the inhibition control showed that the test substance met the criteria for not being inhibitory to the microbial inoculum. Thus, the test is considered valid.
Description of key information
The ultimate aerobic biodegradability of the test item was investigated in a GLP-compliant ready biodegradability screening study performed in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 301D. No biologically-relevant degradation of the test item was observed during the 28-day test period. Therefore, the test item should be considered not readily biodegradable under the conditions of the test.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Type of water:
- freshwater
Additional information
The ready biodegradability of the test item was investigated in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 301D, without deviations. The study is considered as reliable (Klimisch 1) and is selected as a key study for the endpoint.
