Other distribution data
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- other distribution data
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
- Reliability:
- 3 (not reliable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Only the removal of the substance from water is measured, no indication of possible metabolisation/degradation impact is provided. Single bacteria is used, therefore the result can not be extrapolated to the distribution in the environment.

Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The bioaccumulation of the test substance by sub-surface bacterial biomass was performed by single-solute bioaccumulation isotherm in static
bottle test procedure.
The bioaccumulation was determined by the ratio between the concentration in the filtrate at each sampling time and the initial concentration of the test substance. - GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of study:
- other: bioaccumulation by sub-surface bacterial biomass
- Media:
- other: water - bacterial biomass
