Description of key information
Within 28 days, no degradation rate of 0 % was determined for Dichlororthanilsäure. Dichlororthanilsäure is considered to be "Not Readily Biodegradable".
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
Ready biodegradability of 2 -amino-4,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonic acid was
assessed following 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 100 mg/L test item in a mineral medium, equalling to 50-100 mg ThOD or COD/Litre as the nominal sole source of organic carbon, was stirred in a closed flask and inoculated at a constant temperature (22 ± 1 °C) for up to 28 days under aerobic conditions in the dark. The consumption of oxygen (BOD) was determined by measuring the drop in pressure in the automated respirometer flasks. Evolved carbon dioxide was absorbed in sodium hydroxide. The amount of oxygen taken up by the test item (corrected for uptake by blank inoculum, run in parallel) was expressed as a percentage of theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD). The endogenous activity of the inoculum was checked running parallel blanks with inoculum but without test item. A reference compound (sodium benzoate) was run in parallel to check the operation of the procedures. Degradation was followed by the determination of oxygen uptake and measurements were taken at frequent intervals to allow the identification of the beginning and end of biodegradation and the slope of the biodegradation curve. The substance is an N-containing substance. Therefore, the concentration of nitrite and nitrate was determined at the start of the test. The oxygen consumed by nitrification was not determined after 28 days, because no degradation of the substance was observed. 2 -Amino-4,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonic acid showed 2 % degradation after 7 days, 4 % degradation after 14 days, 1 % degradation after 21 days and 0 % degradation after 28 days. Therefore, 2-amino-4,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonic acid is considered to be “Not Readily Biodegradable“. The reference compound showed 70 % degradation after 14 days.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
