- Executive summary:
A study was performed to investigate the biodegradation of Dicarbonyl(pentane-2,4-dionato-O,O’)rhodium (‘CARAC’) over a 28-day period in a Manometric Respirometry Test according to OECD guideline 301 F (1992) and EC method C.4-D (440/2008/EEC). The test medium was inoculated with microorganisms from a digester of a sewage treatment plant mainly fed with municipal wastewater.
The test solutions were stirred in closed flasks at 22 °C ± 1°C for 28 days. The rate of degradation was monitored by measuring the quantity of oxygen required to maintain a constant gas volume in the respirometer flasks over a 28-day period. The amount of oxygen taken up by the microbial population during biodegradation of the test item at a concentration of 100 mg/L (ThOD = 84 mg), respectively, corrected for uptake by the blank inoculum run in parallel, was expressed as a percentage of the ThOD (theoretical oxygen demand). In order to check the procedure, sodium benzoate was used as a degradable reference item at a concentration of 100 mg/L, along with a toxicity control at 100 mg/L Dicarbonyl(pentane-2,4-dionato-O,O’)rhodium (‘CARAC’) and 100 mg/L sodium benzoate.
The biodegradation of Dicarbonyl(pentane-2,4-dionato-O,O’)rhodium (‘CARAC’) in the static test was found to be 0% with a standard deviation of 3.4% for a concentration of 100 mg test item per liter after 28 days. The degradation rate within the 10-day-window was 0%.
The degradation of the reference substance sodium benzoate had reached 87% within the first 14 days. The difference of extremes of replicate values of the removal of the test item at the end of the 10-day window and the end of the test is less than 20%. Therefore, the test can be considered as valid.
Less than 25% degradation occurred within 14 days in the toxicity control. Therefore, according to the guideline [5] an inhibitory effect of the test item on the microorganisms of the inoculum occurred and the test item must be considered to be toxic under the chosen test conditions.
Due to the results in this study, Dicarbonyl(pentane-2,4-dionato-O,O’)rhodium (‘CARAC’) must be considered as not readily biodegradable under the chosen test conditions.
Reference
-pH values at test end (2 vessels):
Inoculum blank: 7.3
Test suspension: 7.3
Abiotic control: 9.4 -9.6
Procedural control: 7.6 -7.7
Toxicity control: 7.3 -7.4
- The biodegradation of the item mixture in the toxicity control was found to be 0% after 14 days of incubation. Thus, the demanded threshold value of 25% was not exceeded and the test item Dicarbonyl(pentane-2,4-dionato-O,O’)rhodium (CARAC) must be identified as toxic under this test conditions.
