PRE-TREATMENT OF THE INOCULUM:
- Before use, the inoculum was stored for one day at room temperature under continuous shaking with aeration
- The sludge was washed twice by adding mineral medium and centrifuging for 10 min at 2000 rpm and 20 °C and decanting off the supernatant
- An aliquot of the wet sludge was dried in order to determine the wet weight / dry weight ratio of the sludge and to prepare a stock suspension (activated sludge) of 3 g dw/L
- The calculated amount of sludge, needed to achieve 300 mL of this stock suspension, was dissolved in mineral medium and then filled up to a defined end volume - Duration of test (contact time):
- 28 d
- Initial conc.:
- 100 mg/L
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
- O2 consumption
- Details on study design:
- PRE-TREATMENT OF THE TEST SUBSTANCE:
- 25 mg of the test item were weighed out and filled with 200 mL of mineral medium. Afterwards the volume was made up to 250 mL with mineral medium containing the inoculum to give a test concentration of 100 mg test item/L.
PRE-TREATMENT OF THE REFERENCE COMPOUND:
- 25 mg of the reference compound were weighed out and filled with 200 mL of mineral medium. Afterwards the volume was made up to 250 mL with mineral medium containing the inoculum to give a test concentration of 100 mg reference compound/L.
PRE-TREATMENT OF THE TOXICITY CONTROL:
- 25 mg of the test item and 25 mg of the reference compound were weighed out and filled with 200 mL of mineral medium. Afterwards the flask volume was made up to 250 mL with mineral medium containing the inoculum to give a test concentration of 100 mg test item and reference compound/L.
EXPOSURE CONDITIONS:
- Test volume: 250 mL
- Test apparatus: OxiTopControl System (WTW)
- Number of culture flasks/concentration: 3 (test item), 2 (reference compound), 3 (inoculum blank), 1 (toxicity control)
- Mixing: 1 magnetic stirrer per test vessel
- Test performed in closed vessels: Yes
- Incubation temperature: 22 ± 1 °C

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Please refer to "Any other information on results incl. tables"
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- Bromhydrin-valerat showed 11 % degradation within 28 days and is therefore not readily biodegradable. The reference compound sodium benzoate was degraded to 90% .
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted in accordance with the Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method C.4-D "Manometric Respirometry Test (2008)". This test method is in all essential parts identical with OECD Guideline 301 F (adopted July 1992). A suspension of the test substance in a mineral medium was inoculated and incubated for 28 d under aerobic conditions. During this period, degradation of Bromhydrin-valerat was followed by continuous automated BOD determinations. The 28-day degradation was 11 % while a biodegradation of 90% was observed for the positive control (with reference substance sodium benzoate). In conclusion Bromhydrin-valerat is not readily biodegradable under test conditions.
Reference
Validity criteria for the measurement of the biodegradation according to OECD 301:
Target condition according to guideline: | Actual condition according to the study: | Validity criteria met: |
In order to check the procedure, reference compounds which meet the criteria for ready biodegradability are tested by setting up an appropriate vessel in parallel as part of normal test runs. Suitable compounds are aniline (freshly distilled), sodium acetate and sodium benzoate. | Benzoic acid, sodium salt was used as a reference compound. | Yes |
A test is considered valid if the difference of extremes of replicate values of the removal of the test chemical at the plateau, at the end of the test or at the end of the 10-d window, as appropriate, is less than 20% and if the percentage degradation of the reference compound has reached the pass levels by day 14. | % degradation of the test substance at the end of the test (28 d) was 11 %
| Yes |
If in a toxicity test, containing both the test substance and a reference compound, less than 35% degradation (based on total DOC) or less than 25% (based on total ThOD or ThCO2) occurred within 14 days, the test substance can be assumed to be inhibitory. The test series should be repeated, using a lower concentration of test substance (if this can be done without seriously impairing the accuracy of the DOC determination) and/or a higher concentration of inoculum, but not greater than 30 mg solids/L. | The used concentrations of the test substance did not show toxic effects to bacteria (after 14, 21 and 28 d, 50 % degradation was measured based on BOD). | Yes |
