Description of key information

The PBT working group concluded that the substance is potentially persistent and thus P, based on the results of the OECD TG 309


In a biodegradation screening study (OECD TG 301D) activated sewage sludge from an STP treating predominantly domestic sewage was exposed to the substance for 28 days. In this test 3% biodegradation was observed at day 28. Therefore, the substance is not readily biodegradable.


The summary of the LR: In the water simulation test according to OECD TG 309 ca 40% of Cassiffix volatilised. In the surface water Cassiffix dissipated/degraded and showed T1/2 ranging from 2.9 - 13 days and 10 - 18 days for 20 µg/L and 100 µg/L, respectively. There was one key metabolite, called Cassiffix-Lactone and exceeding the 10% level (present at ca. 14%), which had a log Kow between 2.5 and 3. Based on these results Cassiffix is not persistent.
