Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, non-adapted
Details on inoculum:
250.0 ml inoculum culture with 1.0 g/l dry substance was made by diluting an appropriate part of stock solution with aerated tap water.
Duration of test (contact time):
5 d
Initial test substance concentration
Initial conc.:
400 mg/L
Based on:
test mat.
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
other: Pressure (The liberated carbon dioxide is absorbed by sodium hydroxide so the biological oxidation generates vacuum which is registered by the measuring heads.)
Details on study design:
This study was performed to evaluate the degradability of Trimethylsulfoxonium Iodide (CAS No. 1774-47-6) in an aerobic mixed bacterial culture on the base of quotient of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The degradability was calculated from the quotient of BOD5 and COD.

For the test solution 1 000.0 mg of test item was solved in 2 500 ml aerated tap water so that the nominal concentration was 400.0 mg/l. This test solution was used for both COD and BOD5 determination.
The chemical oxygen demand was determined by the standard dichromate method. Three replicates were measured in the test.
The biochemical oxygen demand of test item is determined by the OxiTop® system. In this test the test solutions are inoculated with mixed aerobe bacterial culture and poured into 500 ml dark glass bottles. The vessels are placed into incubator at 20 ± 2 °C and continuously stirring with magnetic stirrer. The test duration is 5 days. N-Allylthiourea is added to each test vessel for inhibiting of nitrification.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
The BOD(5days)/COD ratio is less than 0.5. In this Degradability Test for “Trimethylsulfoxonium Iodide” (CAS No. 1774-47-6) the results indicated that the test item is not rapidly degradable in the aquatic environment.
