Details on sampling:
Determinations of the concentration of dissolved oxygen using an oxygen electrode in duplicate vessels
were made at day 0, 7, 14, 21, 29, 35, 42, 49 and 56 for the “test suspension” and “inoculum blank with
silica gel” series, at day 0, 7, 14, 21 and 29 for the “procedure control” and “inoculum blank without silica
gel” series, and only at the start of the test and after 7 and 14 days of incubation for the “toxicity control”
series.
Temperature: Measured continuously in the growth chamber
Details on test solutions:
See cross-referenced study
Test organisms (species):
aerobic microorganisms
Details on inoculum:
Origin: River water was sampled from “L’Adour”, situated downstream of a plant treating domestic was
tewater (Aureilhan, France).
Pre-conditioning: The river water was aerated for about 7 days before use as inoculum at the test
temperature to reduce endogenous respiration.
Test type:
static
Water media type:
freshwater

Duration:
28 d
Dose descriptor:
NOEC
Effect conc.:
ca. 2 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
other: readily biodegradable at this nominal test concentration
Details on results:
None
Reported statistics and error estimates:
None
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The test item is considered as readily biodegradable and the tested concentration is taken as NOECmicrooorganism.
Executive summary:

A ready biodegradability study was performed according to OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 301 D, "Ready biodegradability – Closed Bottle Test" (1), referenced as Method C.4-E of Commission Regulation No. 440/2008 amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/266 (2) and with ISO 10634 (7).

Ten BOD bottles were filled with mineral medium inoculated with river water and test item added at a nominal concentration of 2 mg/L with the help of silica gel.

Therefore, the tested concentration of 2 mg/L can be taken as conservative NOECmicrorganism.

Description of key information

The tested concentration in the ready biodegradability study (2 mg/L) conducted with alpha-pinene multiconstituent is taken as conservative NOECmicrorganism.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
2 mg/L

Additional information

A ready biodegradability study was performed on alpha-pinene multiconstituent according to OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 301 D.

The tested concentration of 2 mg/L is taken as conservative NOECmicrorganism and is valid for key value for chemical safety assessment.
