- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used: The CO2 produced in each test bottle reacted with the barium hydroxide in the gas scrubbing bottle and precipitated out as barium carbonate. The amount of CO2 produced was determined by titrating the remaining Ba(OH)2 with 0.05 M standardized HCl (1:20 dilution from 1 M HCl (Titrisol® ampul), Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Phenolphthalein (1% solution in ethanol, Merck) was used as pH-indicator.
Titrations were made every second or third day during the first 10 days, and thereafter at least every fifth day until the 28th day, for the inoculum blank and test suspension. Titrations for the positive and toxicity control were made at least 14 days.
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: Titrations were made on day: 2, 5, 7, 9, 14, 19, 23, 27 and 29.
Sampling method: Titration of the whole volume of CO2-absorber. Each time the CO2-absorber nearest to the test bottle was removed for titration; each of the remaining two absorbers was moved one position in the direction of the test bottle. A new CO2-absorber was placed at the far end of the series.

The test was performed in 0.30 L BOD (biological oxygen demand) bottles with glass stoppers.
Nutrients, stocks and administration
The river water used in the Closed Bottle test was spiked per liter of water with 8.5 mg KH2PO4, 21.75 mg K2HPO4, 33.3 mg Na2HPO4.2H2O, 22.5 mgMgSO4.7H2O, 27.5 mg CaCl2, 0.25 mg FeCl3.6H2O. Ammonium chloride was not added to the river water to prevent nitrification. Test substance was administered using a stock emulsion prepared in deionized water with polyalkoxylate alkylphenol both at a concentration of 1.0 g/L. Additional control bottles contained polyalkoxylate alkylphenol. Sodium acetate was added to the bottles using a stock solution of 1.0 g/L.
Test procedures
Use was made of 10 bottles containing only river water, 6 bottles containing river water and sodium acetate, 10 bottles containing river water with test substance and surfactant, and 10 bottles containing river water with surfactant. The concentrations of the test substance, surfactant and sodium acetate in the bottles were 4.0, 4.0 and 6.7 mg/L, respectively. The zero time bottles were immediately analyzed for dissolved oxygen using an oxygen electrode. The remaining bottles were closed and incubated in the dark. Two duplicate bottles of all series were withdrawn for analyses of the dissolved oxygen concentration at Day 7, 14, 21, and 28. The Closed bottle test was prolonged by measuring the course of the oxygen decrease in the bottles of Day 28 using a special funnel and oxygen electrode. - Reference substance:

- Parameter:
- % degradation (O2 consumption)
- Value:

- Sampling time:
- 60 d
- Details on results:
- Theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD)
The calculated theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD) of the main components pentaerythritol triacrylate and pentaerythritol tetraacrylate are 1.64 and 1.61 mg/mg, respectively. A ThOD of 1.6 mg/mg was therefore used to calculate the biodegradability of the test substance. The ThOD of sodium acetate was 0.8 mg/mg.
Toxicity
Inhibition of the degradation of a well-degradable compound, sodium acetate by the test substance in the closed bottle test was not determined because possible toxicity of test substance to microorganisms degrading acetate is not relevant. Inhibition of the endogenous respiration of the inoculum by the test substance was not detected. Therefore, no inhibition of the biodegradation due to the "high" initial concentration of the test substance is expected.
Test conditions
The pH of the media was 8.0 at the start of the test. The pH of the medium at Day 28 was 7.9 (controls) and 7.8 (test). Temperatures were within the prescribed temperature range of 22 to 24°C.
Validity of the test
The validity of the test is demonstrated by an endogenous respiration of 1.5 mg/L at Day 28. Furthermore, the differences of the replicate values at Day 28 were less than 20%. The biodegradation percentage of the reference substance, sodium acetate, at Day 14 was 83. Finally, the validity of the test was shown by oxygen concentrations >0.5 mg/L in all bottles during the test period.
Biodegradability
The test substance was biodegraded by 25% at Day 28 in the Closed Bottle test. In the prolonged Closed Bottle test this substance was biodegraded by46% at Day 60. These results demonstrate that the test substance is inherently biodegradable. - Results with reference substance:
- The biodegradation of the reference substance, sodium acetate, at Day 14 was 81%.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- inherently biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the test substance can be considered inherently biodegradable.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the inherent biodegradability of the test substance according to an extended version of OECD Guideline 301D (prolonged closed bottle test) , in compliance with GLP. The test was performed in 0.30 L BOD (biological oxygen demand) bottles with glass stoppers. There were 10 bottles containing only river water, 6 bottles containing river water and sodium acetate, 10 bottles containing river water with test substance and surfactant, and 10 bottles containing river water with surfactant. The concentrations of test substance, EO-PO-EO block polymer and sodium acetate in the bottles were 2.0 and 6.7 mg/L, respectively. No reduction in the endogenous respiration was observed at Day 7. The test substance was therefore considered to be non-inhibitory to the inoculum. The test was valid, as shown by an endogenous respiration of 1.4 mg/L and by the total mineralization of the reference compound, sodium acetate. Sodium acetate was degraded by 81% of its theoretical oxygen demand after 14 d. Oxygen concentrations remained >0.5 mg/L in all bottles during the test period. The test substance was biodegraded by 50% at Day 28 and by 72% at Day 60. Under the conditions of the study, the test substance can therefore be considered inherently biodegradable.

Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable, fulfilling specific criteria
Additional information
A study was conducted to determine the ready biodegradability of PETIA according to OECD Guideline 301B. The relative biodegradation values during the test period revealed 14 and 6% biodegradation of the substance for the duplicate bottles tested. There was no toxicity to inoculum and the positive control degraded as expected. Thus, the criterion for ready biodegradability (at least 60% biodegradation) was not met (Desmares-Koopmans, 2010).
A further study was conducted to determine the inherent biodegradability of the test substance according to an extended version of OECD Guideline 301D (prolonged closed bottle test), in compliance with GLP. The test was performed in 0.30 L BOD (biological oxygen demand) bottles with glass stoppers. There were 10 bottles containing only river water, 6 bottles containing river water and sodium acetate, 10 bottles containing river water with test substance and surfactant, and 10 bottles containing river water with surfactant. The concentrations of test substance, EO-PO-EO block polymer and sodium acetate in the bottles were 2.0 and 6.7 mg/L, respectively. No reduction in the endogenous respiration was observed at Day 7. The test substance was therefore considered to be non-inhibitory to the inoculum. The test was valid, as shown by an endogenous respiration of 1.4 mg/L and by the total mineralization of the reference compound, sodium acetate. Sodium acetate was degraded by 81% of its theoretical oxygen demand after 14 d. Oxygen concentrations remained >0.5 mg/L in all bottles during the test period. The test substance was biodegraded by 50% at Day 28 and by 72% at Day 60. Under the conditions of the study, the test substance can therefore be considered inherently biodegradable (Ginkel, 2015).
The ready biodegradation and half-life of the test substance was predicted using the CATALOGIC Kinetic 301B v.02.09. Since the test substance is a UVCB, the ultimate half-life values were predicted for the individual constituents, as described in the boundary composition. SMILES codes were used as the input parameter. The predicted ultimate half-life values of the individual constituents ranged from 9.5 to 27.3 days. All QSAR predictions were within the domain of the model (LMC, 2018).
The ready biodegradation and half-life of the test substance was predicted using the CATALOGIC 301C v.11.15. Since the test substance is a UVCB, the ultimate half-life values were predicted for the individual constituents, as described in the boundary composition. SMILES codes were used as the input parameter. The predicted ultimate half-life values of the individual constituents ranged from 27 to 62 days. All the QSAR predictions were within the domain of the QSAR model (LMC, 2018).
The ready biodegradation and half-life of the test substance was predicted using the CATALOGIC Kinetic 301F v.13.16. Since the test substance is a UVCB, the ultimate half-life values were predicted for the individual constituents, as described in the boundary composition. SMILES codes were used as the input parameter. The predicted ultimate half-life values of the individual constituents ranged from 11 to 15 days. All the QSAR predictions were within the domain of the QSAR model (LMC, 2018).
