- Initial cell/biomass concentration: 30 mg SS/L - Duration of test (contact time):
- 28 d
- Initial conc.:
- 21.7 mg/L
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
- CO2 evolution
- Details on study design:
- PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONAL WORK
- To investigate whether the test item adsorbed to filter matrices and/or to activated sludge.
- 100 mg test item dissolved in 1 L mineral medium. 2 samples for DOC analysis: one untreated and one filtered (0.45 µm Gelman AcroCap filter).
- Similar 100 mg/L solution inoculated at 30 mg SS/L. 2 samples for DOC analysis: one after filtration, and the other after centrifugation at 4000 g for 15 min. Control samples prepared in the same way from a similar solution without activated sludge.
TEST CONDITIONS
- Composition of medium: as recommended by OECD
- Additional substrate: none
- Solubilising agent (type and concentration if used): none
- Test temperature: 21°C
- pH: 7.5-7.8 throughout the study
- pH adjusted: yes, to 7.4 at the start of testing, using diluted HCl or NaOH solutions
- Suspended solids concentration: 30 mg SS/L
- Continuous darkness: yes
TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: 5-L test culture vessels containing 3 L of medium
- Number of culture flasks/concentration: 2
- Test vessels sealed and CO2-free air bubbled through solution at 30-100 mL/min/vessel and stirred continuously by magnetic stirrer
- Measuring equipment:
- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used: two 500-mL Dreschel bottles containing 350 mL 0.05 M NaOH (prepared using purified degassed water)
- On day 28, 1 mL of concentrated HCl was added to drive off any inorganic carbonates formed
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: first CO2 adsorber vessel sampled on day 0, 2, 6, 8, 10, 14, 21, 28 and 29; second adsorber vessel sampled on day 0 and 29
- For DOC, IC and TC analysis, samples (30 mL) taken on day 0 from test item vessels and inoculum control. All samples filtered (0.45 µm) before analysis.
CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
- Inoculum blank: yes (inoculum + mineral medium, 2 vessels)
- Abiotic sterile control: no
- Toxicity control: yes (inoculum + mineral medium + 21.7 mg/L test item + 17.1 mg/L sodium benzoate (together 20 mg C/L), 1 vessel)
- Procedure control: yes (inoculum + mineral medium + 17.1 mg/L sodium benzoate (10 mg C/L), 2 vessels)
STATISTICAL METHODS:
- Student's t-test to determine significant differences between test and control groups. - Reference substance:
- benzoic acid, sodium salt
- Preliminary study:
- The test item was demonstrated not to adsorb to filter matrices or activated sludge. Therefore, samples taken for DOC analysis were filtered to remove SS present without loss of test item.
- Test performance:
- - Total CO2 evolution in inoculum control vessels on day 28 was 31.54 mg/L, satisfying the validity criterion (< 40 mg/L).
- IC content of test item suspension at start of test was < 5% of TC, satisfying the validity criterion.
- The difference between values for CO2 production at end of test for replicate vessels was < 20%, satisfying the validity criterion.
- Toxicity control attained 39% degradation after 14 days, confirming that the test item was not toxic to the activated sludge organisms (should be >= 25% after 14 days).
- Sodium benzoate attained 76% degradation after 14 days, confirming suitability of inoculum and test conditions (should be >= 60% after 14 days). - Key result
- Parameter:
- other: % ThCO2
- Value:
- 0
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Remarks on result:
- other: not readily biodegradable
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Conclusions:
- In this CO2 evolution test conducted according to OECD guideline 301B, no biodegradation of the test substance was observed after 28 days using activated sludge from a treatment plant treating predominantly domestic sewage. Test performance was demonstrated to be good (as shown by the results with the reference item and the toxicity control) and all validity criteria were met. The results of the test can be considered reliable. The test substance is not readily biodegradable.

Description of key information
In a 28-day CO2 evolution test according to OECD guideline 301B and performed under GLP, no biodegradation of the test substance was observed (Roulstone, 2012).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
One reliable (Klimisch 1) study is available (Roulstone, 2012) which is considered as key study to cover this endpoint. This study determined the ready biodegradability of BAEE in a 28-day CO2 evolution test conducted according to OECD guideline 301B, in the presence of activated sludge from a waste water treatment plant treating predominantly domestic sewage. Test performance was demonstrated to be good (as shown by the results with the reference item and the toxicity control) and all validity criteria were met. The results of the test can be considered reliable. No biodegradation of the test substance was observed after 28 days; the test substance is not readily biodegradable.
