- Details on study design:
- TEST PRINCIPLE/CONDITIONS
- Inoculated mineral medium (measured volume) with a known concentration of test item (100 mg test item/L giving at least 50-100 mg ThOD/L) as the nominal sole source of organic carbon
- Stirred in a closed flask
- Test temperature: 22 °C ± 1 °C (constant)
- Test duration: 28 days
- Consumption of oxygen is determined by measuring the quantity of oxygen (produced electrolytically) required to maintain constant gas volume in the respirometer flask
- Evolved carbon dioxide is absorbed in a suitable absorbent.
- The amount of oxygen taken up by the microbial population during biodegradation of the test item (corrected for uptake by blank inoculum, run in parallel) is expressed as a percentage of ThOD.
- Water: deionized water, free from inhibitory concentrations of toxic substances
- following reagents (analytical grade) were used for the preparation of stock solutions for mineral medium.
The mineral medium applied containes 10 mL/L and 1 mL/L of the mineral stock solution a and b-d, respectively:
(a) KH2PO4: 8.50 g/L
K2HPO4: 21.75 g/L
Na2HPO4 x 2 H2O: 33.40 g/L
NH4Cl: 0.50 g/L
(b) CaCl2 x 2 H2O: 36.40 g/L
(c) MgSO4 x 2 H2O: 22.50 g/L
(d) FeCl3 x 6 H2O: 0.25 g/L
- pH: determined and adjusted to 7.4 ± 0.2 before test start, determined at the end of the test.
- Measurement/recording of oxygen demand: continuously (SAPROMAT respirometer (VOITH Inc.)
- Reference item: Sodium benzoate. Concentration in test vessels with reference item(procedual control, toxicity control): 100 mg per litre mineral test medium (25 mg/250 mL).
- Concentration of test item (SymSitive 1609 pur):
25 mg per litre mineral test medium (6.25 mg/250 mL, test suspension A) and
100 mg per litre mineral test medium (25 mg/250 mL, test suspension B, abiotic control, toxicity control).
- additional assay: 25 mg test item (74 mg ThOD, meeting the required concenrtation of 50-100 mg ThOD/L) was conducted
TEST SYSTEM/VESSELS
- Test suspension A:
2 vessels containing test item (25 mg/L / ThOD 74 g) and inoculum
- Test suspension B:
2 vessels containing test item (100 mg/L / ThOD 296 g) and inoculum
CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
- Inoculum blank:
2 vessels containing only inoculum
- Abiotic control:
2 vessels containing test item (100 mg/L) and a sterilising agent
- Procedual control:
2 vessels containing reference item (100 mg/L) and inoculum
- Toxicity control:
2 vessels sontaining test item (100 mg/L), reference item (100 mg/L) and inoculum
TEST PROCEDURE
- SymSitive 1609 pur (in concentrations of about 25 and 100 mg per litre mineral medium, respectively) and
sodium benzoate (in concentrations of about 100 mg per litre mineral medium) were incubated with 29.5 mg dry mass inoculum per litre mineral medium in 500 mL glass vessels at a medium volume of 250 mL.
- Test was run for 28 days, in darkness at 22 °C ± 1 °C.
- The suspension was aerated during the whole test. - Reference substance:
- benzoic acid, sodium salt
- Preliminary study:
- not applicable
- Test performance:
- The guideline OECD 301 (1992) stated that "if the pH value is outside the range 6 -8.5 AND the oxygen consumption by the test substance is less than 60 %, the test should be repeated with a lower concentration of test substance".
The pH values of the procedural control, the abiotic control, and the toxicity control were outside the range of 6.0 - 8.5 (8.3 till 9.0). However, degradation in the procedural control and the toxicity control was above 60 %. Therefore, the results are plausible and according to the guideline the test does not have to be repeated. - Key result

The biogradation within the 10-day-window was 66 % and 57 % in the assays with 25 mg/L and 100 mg/L, respectively.
The 10-day-window starts at day 18-22 (25 mg/L) and day 22-25 (100 mg/L), respectively. A distinct lag phase / adaption phase was noticeable.
No significant abiotic degradation of the test item was noticeable after 28 days of incubation. The biodegradation of the item mixture in the toxicity control was found to be 31 % after 14 days of incubation. Thus, the demanded threshold value of 25 % is exceeded and the test item can be identified as non inhibitory to microorganisms at a tested concentration of 100 mg/L in a ready biodegradability test.
The test item can be identified as ready biodegradable under the thosen test conditions.
Even when the pH value of the procedural control, the abiotic control, and the tocxicity control was outside the range of 6.0 - 8.5 at test end, degradation in the procedural control and toxicity control was above 60 %. Therefore, the results are plausible and according to the guideline the test does not have to be repeated.
Validity and interpretation:
The test considered valid, as
- the difference of extremes of replicate values of the removal of the test item at the end of the test was less than 20 %,
- the percentage degradation of the reference item has exceeded the pass level of 60 % by day 14,
- the oxygen uptake of the inoculum blank is < 60 mg/L in 28 days,
- the pH value for almost all assays was inside the range of 6.0 - 8.5 and the degradation rate in the only assay outside the demanded range was > 60 %.
