Description of key information
Not rapidly biodegradable, OECD guideline 301F, Simon 2015
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
Simon (2015) conducted a study following recent guidelines and in compliance with GLP. In the procedural controls, the reference substance sodium benzoate was degraded by an average of 85 % by exposure day 14, and reached an average biodegradation of 90 % by the end of the test (day 28), thus confirming suitability of the activated sludge. The biochemical oxygen demand of the test item in the test media was in the same range as the inoculum controls, so the test item exhibited no significant additional oxygen demand. Consequently, the test item was not biodegradable under the conditions of the test.
The study is considered complete, reliable and adequate. The result is carried forward for the purposes of risk assessment and classification.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
