Description of key information
C12-14 ADMAES was readily biodegradable in an OECD guideline study.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
A guideline study was conducted to determine the ultimate ready biodegradability of C12-14 ADMAES using the headspace CO2 biodegradation test. The test substance at 20.15 mg/L was incubated with sludge from an activated sludge plant treating predominantly domestic waste. The extent of biodegradation was expressed as a percentage of the theoretical maximum inorganic carbon (IC) production (ThIC), based on the quantity of the test substance (as organic carbon) added initially over a period of 28 days. The test substance reached a biodegradation of 67.77% at Day 28. Mean net CO2 values from the test substance vessels on Days 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 were 10.25, 30.31, 56.30, 63.98, and 67.77%, respectively, of the theoretical amount. The 10-day window pass criterion is not applicable for UVCB surfactant substances. Under the study conditions the test substance is readily biodegradable (Nadai RDE, 2001).
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.
