- TEST CONDITIONS
- Reconstituted water: The reconstituted water was prepared according to the method described in the guideline.
- Temperature: 22 ± 2 °C
- Aeration: Ca. 25 mL/min purified from carbon dioxide.
DESIGN
- Vessels: 2 L dark brown glass flasks equipped with gas inlet and a magnetic stirrer.
- CO2 scrubbers: Approximately 250 mL scrubbers with gas inlet tubes equipped with sintered glass tips containing 200 ml 0.05 N sodium hydroxide. Only one CO2 scrubber was used per test bottle. Theoretically, a solution of 0.05 M NaOH is sufficient to trap at least two times more CO2 than the maximum ThCO2 which can evolve in each test bottle (including CO2 possibly evolved from the bacteria e.g., endogenous respiration). Moreover, experimentally it was confirmed that no measurable CO2 carry over has ever occurred with the scrubbers used.
PREPARATIONS
The following test assays were prepared:
- 2 test substance treatment flasks (test substance and inoculum)
- 2 inoculum blank flasks
- 2 reference substance control flasks (procedure control)
- 1 toxicity control flask (reference substance, test substance and inoculum) - Reference substance:
- benzoic acid, sodium salt
- Remarks:
- 15 mg DOC/L
- Preliminary study:
- Not reported
- Test performance:
- Not reported
- Key result
- Parameter:
- % degradation (CO2 evolution)
- Value:
- 7
- Sampling time:
- 29 d
- Details on results:
- Minor biodegradation was observed. Within the test substance treatments, CO2 evolution slowly increased over time, reaching an average of 13.6 mg C after 29 days, corresponding to a 7% biodegradation of the test substance. A detailed overview of the test results of the test substance and the controls is provided in 'Any other information on results incl. tables'.
- Results with reference substance:
- The degree of biodegradation of the reference substance after 21 days was 84% CO2/ThCO2. The degree of biodegradation of the reference substance with the test substance after 21 days was 88% CO2/ThCO2.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The test substance is not readily biodegradable in this test. The biodegradation calculated as percentage of measured amount of inorganic carbon over the theory was 7 %.
- Executive summary:
The biodegradation potential of the substance in water was determined in a screening study according to OECD TG 301B (CO2 -Evolution Test) and in compliance with GLP criteria. In this study, 14.8 and 15.8 mg/L TOC nominal (equivalent to 45.0 and 47.9 mg/L test substance) were inoculated with activated sludge from a predominantly domestic wastewater treatment plant for 29 days under aerobic conditions. During the incubation period the produced carbon dioxide (CO2) was measured and at the end of the test compared with the maximal theoretical CO2 production (ThCO2). Biodegradation was expressed as percentage of the measured CO2 (corrected for the blanc inoculum control) relative to the ThCO2. After the 29-day incubation period 7% of the substance was biodegraded. Based on these findings, the test substance is classified as not readily biodegradable.

* The biodegradation of the "reference + test substance" control is calculated with the applied amount of the reference alone, i.e., 15 mg DOC/L.
** The controls of the reference and the reference + test substance together were stopped at day 21 since it met already the specifications of biodegradation criteria.

Negative degradation values as obtained in this test are a consequence of the comparison of values obtained in the blank (endogenous respiration leading to a carbon dioxide evolution) and the low values obtained in the presence of the test substance.
