Biodegradation in water

Biodegradability of 2-[(4-aminophenyl)amino]-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid (CAS no. 91 -29 -2) is predicted using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 (2017) with logKow as the primary descriptor. Test substance undergoes 0.966% degradation by BOD in 28 days.Thus, based on percentage degradation, the test chemical 2 -[(4 -aminophenyl)amino]-5 -nitrobenzenesulfonic acid was estimated to be not readily biodegradable in water.

Biodegradation in water and sediment

Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound 2 -[(4 -aminophenyl)amino]-5 -nitrobenzenesulfonic acid (CAS No. 91 -29 -2). If released in to the environment, 14.1% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of 2 -[(4 -aminophenyl)amino]-5 -nitrobenzenesulfonic acid in water is estimated to be 60 days (1440 hrs). The half-life (60 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is persistent and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to high whereas the half-life period of 2 -[(4 -aminophenyl)amino]-5 -nitro benzenesulfonic acid in sediment is estimated to be541.66 days (13000 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 1% (i.e, reported as 0.132%), indicates that 2-[(4-aminophenyl)amino]-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid is not persistent in sediment.

 

Biodegradation in soil

The half-life period of 2-[(4-aminophenyl)amino]-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid (CAS No. 91 -29 -2) in soil was estimated using Level III Fugacity Model by EPI Suite version 4.1 estimation database (EPI suite, 2017). If released into the environment, 85.7% of the chemical will partition into soil according to the Mackay fugacity model level III. The half-life period of 2-[(4-aminophenyl)amino]-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid in soil is estimated to be 120 days (2880 hrs). Based on this half-life value of 2 -[(4 -aminophenyl)amino]-5 -nitrobenzenesulfonic acid, it is concluded that the chemical is not persistent in the soil environment and the exposure risk to soil dwelling animals is moderate to low.

Bioaccumulation: aquatic/sediment

BCFBAF model (v3.01) of Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction program was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical 2-[(4-aminophenyl)amino]-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid (CAS No. 91 -29 -2). The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 2-[(4-aminophenyl)amino]-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid was estimated to be 3.162 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical 2-[(4-aminophenyl)amino]-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.

Adsorption/desorption

The Soil Adsorption Coefficient i.e Koc value of test substance 2-[(4-aminophenyl)amino]-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid was estimated using Adsorption Coefficient module (v12.1.0.50374) program as Koc 1.0 (log Koc= 0) (ACD (Advanced Chemistry Development)/I-Lab predictive module, 2017). This Koc value indicates that the test substance 2-[(4-aminophenyl)amino]-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid has a negligible sorption to soil and sediment and therefore have rapid migration potential to ground water.

In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with logKow as the primary descriptor, percentage biodegradability of test chemical 2 -[(4 -amino phenyl)amino]-5 -nitrobenzenesulfonic acid(CAS No. 91-29-2) was estimated.The biodegradability of the substance was calculated using seven different models such as Linear Model, Non-Linear Model, Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe, Primary Biodegradation Timeframe, MITI Linear Model, MITI Non-Linear Model and Anaerobic Model (called as Biowin 1-7, respectively) of the BIOWIN v4.10 software. The results indicate that chemical  2-[(4-aminophenyl)amino]-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid is expected to be not readily biodegradable.

 

In a supporting weight of evidence study from authoritative database (J-CHECK, 2017) for the read across chemical 2­aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (CAS no. 81-16-3), read across chemical 2-aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid was tested for biodegradability in water by taking activated sludge as a inoculums at 30 mg/L concentration . Biodegradation was analyzed by using four parameters BOD, TOC, UV-Vis and HPLC. The initial concentration of test chemical was 100 mg/L and study design was of standard type. After 2 weeks( 14 days) test chemical showed 3.8% , 0.7 % , 0 % and 5.8% biodegradation by BOD, TOC, UV-Vis and HPLC parameters respectively so it is concluded that the chemical 2-aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid is not readily biodegradable.
