Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
- Type of information:
- other: based on biodegradation experimental studies of components
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Justification for type of information:
- Sinpine P is a multi-constituent substance. Standard biodegradation tests are not ideally suited to mixtures because they measure ultimate biodegradation as a function of either the CO2 evolved or O2 consumed and as such do not provide information on the biodegradability of individual constituents. Thus the ready biodegradability of Sinpine P has been assessed using a constituent approach.

- Version / remarks:
- beta-pinene study
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The ready biodegradability of Sinpine P has been assessed using a constituent approach. Two key studies have been are used;
i) A study on D-limonene (King 1992) which represents 3 of the main constituents in Sinpine P: p-mentha-1,4(8)-diene; dipentene and p-mentha-1,4-diene
ii) A study on beta-pinene (Kreutzer 2012) which represents the 4th main constituent of Sinpine P: pine-2(3)-ene
The representative substances were chosen because they are either structurally identical to or have the same carbon skeleton as the constituents present in Sinpine P and as such are expected to have the same biodegradation properties. - GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)

- Details on results:
- Ready biodegradability data for two substances has been used to assess the ready biodegradability of Sinpine P; a sealed CO2 test performed on D-limonene (King, 1992) and a Manometric Respirometry Test performed on beta-pinene (Kreutzer, 2012). The purity of the single substances tested was 95 and 98.8% respectively. The level of biodegradation achieved after 28 days was 71.4% and 81% respectively, which exceeds the pass level of 60%. The 10-day window criterion was also fulfilled in both studies. Thus D-limonene and beta-pinene can be considered as readily biodegradable.
The structures of D-limonene, beta-pinene and the four consituents of Sinpine P are provided in the "illustration section". It can be seen that D-limonene is structurally related to three of the constituents of Sinpine P (dipentene, p-mentha-1,4(8)-diene and p-mentha-1,4-diene) while beta-pinene is structurally related to the remaining constituent, pin-2(3)-ene. Given the similarity in carbon skeleton between the constituents in Sinpine P and the two substances with ready biodegradability data, it can be concluded that the 4 main constituents of Sinpine P are expected to be readily biodegradable. This is supported by data on the ECHA website for two of the constituents, p-mentha-1,4(8)diene (CAS 586-62-9) and pin-2(3)-ene (CAS 80-56-8).
Sinpine P also contains a number of identified impurities (see section 1.2 and, for chemical structures, the GCMS attached in section 1.4). The impurities are also cyclic monoterpenes and have carbon skeletons that are similar to those of the main constituents. As a consequence they are expected to be readily biodegradable. This is confirmed by data for 3 impurities, which are available in a pure form and which have been tested by the lead registrant. The study reports for these three substances are attached as background information. The results are summarsied below:
Cineole (CAS 470-82-6, also known as Eucalyptol): 90.2% after 28d (sealed CO2 test, Study No. BD/PER/09); 82% after 28 days (301F, Study No 97-E74)
Borneol (CAS 507-70-0): 99% after 28d (301F, Study No 99-E65)
Camphene (CAS 79-92-5): 78% after 28d (301F, Study No. 10-E202)
In summary, all the constituents and impurities of Sinpine P are regarded as readily biodegradable. It is thus concluded that the substance itself can be considered as readily biodegradable.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The ready biodegradability of Sinpine P has been assessed using a constituent approach. Two key studies have been are used;
i) A study on D-limonene (King 1992) which represents 3 of the main constituents in Sinpine P: p-mentha-1,4(8)-diene; dipentene and p-mentha-1,4-diene
ii) A study on beta-pinene (Kreutzer 2012) which represents the 4th main constituent of Sinpine P: pine-2(3)-ene
D-limonene and beta-pinene achieved respectively 71.4% and 81% biodegradation after 28 days. The 10-day window criterion was also met in both studies. Thus D-limonene and beta-pinene are regarded as readily biodegradable. It is therefore considered that Sinpine P and all underlying constituents are readily biodegradable. This is further supported by available data on 3 impurities.
