- Primary degradation was best described by a two compartment first order model (r2 > 0.99). The process was biphasic with two pools (compartments) of material exhibiting different degradation rates. Pool A (compartment 1) presumably was readily bioavailable test material, in the aqueous phase. Pool B (compartment 2) presumably was less bioavailable test material, bound to solids (sorbed).

Description of key information
The read-across source substance C12LAS (linear alkylbenzene sulfonate) was aerobically biodegraded in sediment (Lytle Creek).
After 148 days, 60.8% was mineralized, 14.4% was associated with solids, 1.4% was metabolites, and 24.5% remained as parent. The rate constants for primary biodegradation and mineralization were 1.5 day-1 and 0.06 day-1, respectively. In a second study, the read-across source substance C12LAS (linear alkylbenzene sulfonate) was aerobically biodegraded in sediment (Ohio River). After 92 days, 42.1% was mineralized, 28.5% was associated with solids, 0% was metabolites, and 29.8% remained as parent. The rate constants for primary biodegradation and mineralization were 0.5 day-1 and 0.06 day-1, respectively.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in freshwater sediment:

Additional information
The biodegradation of C12-LAS (read across) in natural sediments was evaluated in two aerobic die-away studies. In the first, radiolabeled LAS was added to sediment from Lytle Creek, Wilmington, Ohio at 1.5 mg/kg dry weight. Primary degradation was best described by a two compartment first order model. The process was biphasic, with two compartments of material exhibiting different degradation rates. The first compartment was presumed to be readily bioavailable test material in the aqueous phase. The second compartment was less bioavailable test material sorbed to solids. Mineralization was best described by a first order model, indicating that parent and metabolites were equally bioavailable to undergo mineralization. After 148 days, 60.8% was mineralized, 14.4% was associated with solids, 1.4% was metabolites, and 24.5% remained as parent LAS. Calculated half-lives (DT50) of the parent LAS were 0.4 days (primary biodegradation, compartment 1), 99 days (primary biodegradation, compartment 2), and 11.6 days (first order aerobic mineralization). Rate constants for primary degradation and mineralization were 1.5 day-1 and 0.06 day-1, respectively. The second die-away study used the same methodology as above but with sediment collected from the Ohio River near Cincinnati, Ohio. Again, primary degradation was best described by a two compartment first order model and the process was biphasic, with two compartments of material exhibiting different degradation rates. After 92 days, 42.1% was mineralized, 28.5% was associated with solids, 0% was metabolites, and 29.8% remained as parent LAS. Calculated half-lives (DT50) of the parent LAS were 1.4 days (primary biodegradation, compartment 1), 77 days (primary biodegradation, compartment 2), and 11.6 days (first order aerobic mineralization). Rate constants for primary degradation and mineralization were 0.5 day-1 and 0.06 day-1, respectively.
