Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, domestic (adaptation not specified)
Details on inoculum:
Specification:
Activated sludge from a biologic sewage treatment plant was used as inoculum. The cho-sen plant is treating mostly domestic sewage.
Source:
The sludge was taken from the activation basin of the ESN (Stadtentsorgung Neustadt) sewage treatment plant, Im Altenschemel, NW-Lachen-Speyerdorf.
Pre-Treatment:
The sludge was filtrated, washed with tap water (2x), then washed with and re-suspended in test medium. It was then aerated until use. The dry matter was determined as 4120 mg suspended solids/L.
Duration of test (contact time):
28 d
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
CO2 evolution

Results with reference substance:
Degradation of the positive control was 61 % after 9 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Therefore, when applying the 10-day-window, (R)-3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol is readily biodegradable following OECD 301B and EU C.4-C respectively.
