- Value:
- 68
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- Substances are considered to be readily biodegradable in the Closed Bottle test if oxygen consumption is equal to or greater than 60% of the ThOD value in the ten-day window within the 28-day period of the test (the 10-day window begins when the degree of biodegradation has reached 10% of the ThOD). However, since the test item is a multi-constituent substance, this last requirement (10-day window) is not applicable.
Test item GUM TURPENTINE OIL was biodegraded by 68% at day 28 in the Closed Bottle test.
Therefore, GUM TURPENTINE OIL is considered as readily biodegradable based on the biodegradation percentage of 68% at day 28.
Calculated ThOD of the test item: 3.29 mg O2/mg - Results with reference substance:
- Calculated ThOD of the reference substance: 1.67 mg O2/mg. The biodegradation percentage of the reference substance, sodium benzoate, was 78 % at day 14.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The test item, GUM TURPENTINE OIL, is considered as readily biodegradable based on the biodegradation percentage of 68% at day 28 and fulfilling the 10-day time window requirement (ca. less than 7 days).
- Executive summary:
A ready biodegradability study was performed to assess the biotic degradation of test item GUM TURPENTINE OIL according to OECD Guideline 301 D and in compliance with GLP.
Ten BOD bottles were filled with mineral medium inoculated with river water and test item added at a nominal concentration of 2 mg.L-1 with the help of silica gel. In the meantime, two series of ten blanks (with and without silica gel) were filled with inoculated mineral medium. Furthermore, six bottles containing reference substance sodium benzoate (2 mg.L-1) were tested in order to check the procedure. The concentrations of dissolved oxygen in duplicate bottles from each group incubated at 22°C±2°C in darkness were measured at the start of the test and thereafter once a week until the end of the test (28 days for each group except the procedure control until 14 days).
The validity of the test was demonstrated by an endogenous respiration < 1.5 mgO2.L-1and by a biodegradation of the reference substance of 78% of its ThOD after 14 days of incubation. Moreover, the differences of the replicate values at day 28 were less than 20% and oxygen concentrations were > 0.5 mg.L-1 in all bottles during the test period.
Substances are considered to be readily biodegradable in the Closed Bottle test if oxygen consumption is equal to or greater than 60% of the ThOD value in the ten-day window within the 28-day period of the test (the 10-day window begins when the degree of biodegradation has reached 10% of the ThOD).
Therefore, test item GUM TURPENTINE OIL was biodegraded by 68% at day 28. The passed level of 60% was reached after less than 7 days (approximately 6 days) upon achieving 10% of biodegradation.
Therefore, GUM TURPENTINE OIL is considered as readily biodegradable based on the biodegradation percentage of 68% at day 28 and fulfilling the 10-day time window requirement (ca. less than 7 days).

Additional information
A study was performed to assess the biotic degradation of test item GUM TURPENTINE OIL by performing a ready biodegradability test. The method followed was designed to be compliant with OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 301 D, "Ready biodegradability – Closed Bottle Test", referenced as Method C.4-E of Commission Regulation No. 440/2008 amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/266 (2) and with ISO 10634. Ten BOD bottles were filled with mineral medium inoculated with river water and test item added at a nominal concentration of 2 mg.L-1 with the help of silica gel. In the meantime, two series of ten blanks (with and without silica gel) were filled with inoculated mineral medium. Furthermore, six bottles containing reference substance sodium benzoate (2 mg.L-1) were tested in order to check the procedure. The concentrations of dissolved oxygen in duplicate bottles from each group incubated at 22°C ± 2°C in darkness were measured at the start of the test and thereafter once a week until the end of the test (28 days for each group except the procedure control until 14 days).
The validity of the test was demonstrated by an endogenous respiration < 1.5 mgO2.L-1 and by a biodegradation of the reference substance of 78% of its ThOD after 14 days of incubation. Moreover, the differences of the replicate values at day 28 were less than 20% and oxygen concentrations were > 0.5 mg.L-1 in all bottles during the test period.
Substances are considered to be readily biodegradable in the Closed Bottle test if oxygen consumption is equal to or greater than 60% of the ThOD value in the ten-day window within the 28-day period of the test (the 10-day window begins when the degree of biodegradation has reached 10% of the ThOD). However, since the test item is a UVCB substance, this last requirement (10-day window) is not applicable.
In this study, test item GUM TURPENTINE OIL was biodegraded by 68% at day 28.
Therefore, GUM TURPENTINE OIL is considered as readily biodegradable based on the biodegradation percentage of 68% at day 28.
