Description of key information
The substance is not ready biodegradable based on predicted data.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No ready biodegradability is predicted for 5-methoxy-2-methylsulphanilic acid by BIOWIN v.4.10.
To support this predicted value we consider a compound with similar structure, 4-aminotoluene-3-sulfonic acid. As reported in SIDS Dossier of 4-aminotoluene-3-sulfonic acid approved at SIAM 16 (27 -30 May 2003) with reference to METI Japan,Chemical Inspection and Testing Institute, Japan (1999): report on biodegradation, 4-aminotoluene-3-sulfonic acid is not readily biodegradable (0% based on BOD during a 14 days incubation period).
For justification of read-across see attachment document in section 13.
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.
