Executive summary:

The biodegradability of PAC-Ethenenitrile (CAS no. 1219086-87-9) exposed to microorganisms derived from activated sludge of a municipal sewage treatment plant was investigated under aerobic static exposure conditions.

The biodegradability of PAC-Ethenenitrile based on O2 consumption was calculated to be 22% after 28 days as compared to the theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD).

The biodegradation of PAC-Ethenenitrile reached 20% at the end of the 10-d window. Biodegradation of the test item was observed without any lag-phase.The procedure control sodium benzoate reached 83% biodegradation after 14 days, thus confirming

suitability of inoculum and test conditions.

All validity criteria were fulfilled.

PAC-Ethenenitrile did not reach the pass level of 60% for ready biodegradability in the Manometric Respirometry Test neither within the 10-d window nor after 28 days of incubation, and, therefore, cannot be termed as readily biodegradable.
