Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
According to PBT profiler 3-oxoglutaric acid is 50% biodegradable in water in 8.7 days (half-life).
Also from QSAR prediction it is found that the substance degrades about 77.4% in 28 days.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
No. of studies reviewed for biodegradation in water and presented as weight of evidence; from reliable sources having Klimish rating 2 indicate the chemical 3 -oxoglutaric acid to be readily bio-degardable.

A different QSAR model (VegaNIC) also predicted the chemical to be bio-degradable. Thus, based on the weight of evidence approach, the chemical 3 -oxoglutaric acid is concluded to be bio-degaradable.
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).
