Description of key information
The biodegradation of the test substance was 4 %. Hence, the test substance was not readily biodegradable in the Closed Bottle test (28 days and prolonged).
Additional information
Biodegradation in water: screening tests
In order to assess the biotic degradation, a ready biodegradability test was performed which allows the biodegradability to be measured in an aerobic aqueous medium. The ready biodegradability was determined in the Closed Bottle test according to slightly modified OECD and EEC Guidelines, and in compliance with the OECD principles of Good Laboratory Practice. In the biodegradability tests, microorganisms are inoculated into a chemically defined liquid medium containing the test substance as sole carbon and energy source. The test compound is exposed to the inoculum, consisting of relatively low numbers of microorganisms from an activated sludge plant, under aerobic conditions for a period of at least 28 days.The test was prolonged because the pass level was not reached at day 28. The test substance caused no reduction in the endogenous respiration. The test substance is therefore considered to be non-inhibitory to the inoculum. The biodegradation of the test substance was 4 %. Hence, the test substance was not biodegraded in the Closed Bottle test (28 days and prolonged) and should therefore no be classified as readily biodegradable. The reference substance, sodium acetate, was degraded 69 % of its theoretical oxygen demand after 14 days.
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.
