- Preparation of inoculum: Coarse particles were removed by filtration through a fine sieve and the sample was settled. The supernatant was discarded and the sludge was washed twice with mineral medium. The concentrated sludge was suspended in mineral medium. 10 mL suspended sludge (3 replicates) was weighed and dried at 105 °C for 2 h and 10 min and reweighed to calculate initial sludge concentration. The measured concentration of suspended sludge was 4.28 g/L as suspended solids (SS). On the day of the test start, 5 replicates of 10 mL sludge were weighed and dried at 105 °C for about 1.5 h and reweighed. The mean concentration of suspended sludge measured was 4030 mg/L as SS.

REFERENCE STUBSTANCE
Biodegradation of the reference substance (sodium benzoate) reached 62.0% on Day 4, 78.4% on Day 14 and 81.5% on Day 28.
TOXICITY CONTROL
In the toxicity control, biodegradation reached 54.0% within 14 d and the value exceeded 25% based on total ThOD, which indicates that the test item is not inhibitory to microorganisms of activated sludge under the tested conditions.
Description of key information
Not readily biodegradable (54.8% after 28 d, OECD 301 F)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable
Additional information
There is one study available, in which the biodegradability of 2-Hydroxycyclohepta-2,4,6-trienone (CAS 533-75-5) was assessed according to OECD guideline 301 F and GLP.
In the Manometric Respirometry Test, 48.7 mg/L test item was inoculated with unacclimatised sewage microorganisms at a concentration of 30 mg/L (suspended solids) in mineral medium for 28 d in the dark. Biodegradation was quantified by continuously measuring oxygen consumption (uptake) throughout the test period. An inoculum control , procedure control and toxicity control were run in parallel.
The degradation phase, demarked by the 10% pass level, began on Day 7 when the average biodegradation of the test item reached 30.3% (2 replicates). After 28 d, biodegradation reached 54.8%. Therefore, the pass level of 60% for ready biodegradability was not reached after 28 d. The procedure control with the reference substance sodium benzoate reached 78.4% degradation after 14 d, confirming the suitability of the inoculum. The toxicity control attained 54.0% degradation within 14 d, indicating that the test item is not inhibitory to microorganisms of activated sludge under the tested conditions.
In conclusion, the test item is not readily biodegradable according to OECD guideline criteria.
