Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable

Description of key information

Zinc bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) is characterised as “not readily biodegradable”.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed

Additional information

No ready biodegradation study is available for zinc bis(diethyldithiocarbamate). However, data from the structural analogues zinc bis(dibutyldithiocarbamate) and zinc bis(dimethyldithiocarbamate) will be used instead (see read-arcoss justification in Appendix A). A GLP-compliant OECD 301F test (Manometric Respirometry Test) is available for zinc bis(dibutyldithiocarbamate). After 28 days 2% degradation was observed (Currenta GmbH & Co. OHG, 2010d). For zinc bis(dimethyldithiocarbamate) non-GLP OECD 301B test (CO2 Evolution Test) is available. After 28 days 7.7% degradation was observed ( Monego, J.G, 2007). Therefore, in the assessment zinc bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) is characterised as “not readily biodegradable”. Based on these results, zinc bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) is considered not readily biodegradable.

As supporting information, BIOWIN v4.10 data was generated on the test substance as part of a weight-of-evidence approach. The QSAR model predicts that the substance is not readily biodegradable. As the substance falls within the applicable domain, the results can still be used to support the outcome of the read-across. Therefore, the substance is considered not readily biodegradable.
