- Results with reference substance:
- The O2 consumption of the reference substance reached >60% within 10d.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Conclusions:
- The substance is not ready biodegradable under the test conditions.
- Executive summary:
The ready biodegradability of the test item was determined in an OECD301F Test with a non-adapted activated sludge over a period of 28 days. The test item was tested at a concentration of 152 mg/L. The biodegradation of the test item was followed by determination of O2 consumption.
In order to check the activity of the test system a reference substance was tested. After 10 days a biodegradation rate of >60% % was reached.
The biodegradation remained in the range of 0 -5 % and the level of 60 % was not reached within the test duration of 28 days.
According to the criteria of the OECD 301F guideline the test item is not readily biodegradable within 28 days.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
