Study design
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- activated sludge, domestic (adaptation not specified)
- Details on inoculum:
- - Source of inoculum/activated sludge (e.g. location, sampling depth, contamination history, procedure): Activated sludge was collected from the wastewater treatment plant ARA Ergolz II (Füllinsdorf, Switzerland) treating domestic waste.
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: The sludge was washed by centrifugation, the supernatant liquid phase was decanted and the solid material resuspended in tap water. This procedure was repeated twice. A homogenized aliquot of the final sludge was weighed, thereafter dried and the ratio of wet to dry weight was calculated. Based on this ratio, calculated amounts of wet sludge were suspended in test water to obtain a concentration equivalent to 4 g/L dw. During holding the sludge was aerated at room temperature until use. Prior to use the sludge was diluted with test water to a concentration of 1 g/L dw. A defined volume of this diluted activated sludge was added to the test flasks to obtain a final concentration of 30 mg/L suspended solids.
- Pretreatment: no

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- readily biodegradable, but failing 10-day window
- Conclusions:
- The test item proved to be readily biodegradable but failing the 10-d-window criterion (77% biodegradation after 28 d of incubation at test substance concentrations of twice 104 mg/L). No degradation of the test item occurred in the abiotic control. The functional control reached the pass level > 60% after 14 d. In the toxicity control containing both test and reference item 57% biodegradation based on oxygen consumption occurred within 14 d thus indicating that the test item was not inhibitory at the concentration tested.
- Executive summary:
The ready biodegradation of the the test item was investigated in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 301 F (Ready Biodegradability: Manometric Respirometry Test) and EU Method C.4-D (Determination of the "Ready" Biodegradability - Manometric Respirometry Test) over a period of 28 days and using activated sludge as inoculum collected from a sewage treatment treating domestic wastewater. The biodegradation rate was determined by measurement of oxygen consumption. Inoculum blank, procedural/functional control with the reference substance sodium benzoate, and toxicity control using 104 mg/L test item and 100 mg/L reference compound were performed.
This study is regarded as reliable without restriction and satisfies the guideline requirements for ready biodegradation.
The test item proved to be readily biodegradable but failing the 10-d-window criterion (77% biodegradation after 28 d of incubation at test substance concentrations of twice 104 mg/L). No degradation of the test item occurred in the abiotic control. The functional control reached the pass level > 60% after 14 d. In the toxicity control containing both test and reference item 57% biodegradation based on oxygen consumption occurred within 14 d thus indicating that the test item was not inhibitory at the concentration tested.
