Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:
- not applicable
% Degradation
- Parameter:
- % degradation (CO2 evolution)
- Value:
- 0
- St. dev.:
- 0
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- - No degradation could be observed within the test duration (28 days). The biodegradation extent of the test item at the end of the test showed a slight negative value (-0.46%, mean of five replicates).
- Toxicity control: The degradation extent in the toxicity control was 34.3% within 14 days. According to the guideline the test substance had no inhibitory effect on the inoculum.
- Reference item: The reference compound sodium benzoate reached the pass level for ready biodegradability within 7 days.
- Blank: The highest mean TIC produced in the blank flasks was 1.2 mg/L in 28 days (less TIC of NaOH produced during sampling).
- Test parameters:
-- Before adding the inoculum, the IC was determined, but no IC could be detected (-0.21 mg/L).
-- The TIC produced by the NaOH in the procedure of sampling was between 1.7 and 2.5 mg/L.
-- The temperature was 20.7 – 22.4°C throughout the whole study and therefore within the required range of 20 - 25°C (± 1°C).
- Criteria of validity:
-- The mean percentage degradation in the flasks containing the reference compound was ≥ 60% on the 7th day of incubation
-- The mean amount of TIC present in the blank controls at the end of the test was <3mg C/L
The test is valid according to OECD Test Guideline 310 (26 September 2014).
Since the test substance is highly volatile, it is not unexpected that no resp. very little biodegradation was observed in this test. According to the guideline OECD 310, substances with a Henry’s law constant of up to 50 Pa.m3.mol-1 can be tested using the recommended headspace to liquid volume ratio of 1:2 (which corresponds to the ratio in the present test: liquid volume 80 mL, total volume 120 mL). According to information from the sponsor however, the Henry’s law constant for the test item is much higher. Therefore, it can be assumed that the test item migrated to the headspace volume and was not be bioavailable to the microorganisms in the test solution.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- No degradation could be observed within the test duration (28 days).
The test item did not reach the criteria for ready biodegradability (60% of ThIC within a 10-d window). - Executive summary:
A Biodegradability, CO2Headspace Test according to OECD 310 (September 2014) was conducted in order to investigate the ready biodegradability of the test item. The test was performed in compliance to GLP.
The CO2Headspace Test determines the biodegradability of test items by measuring the net increase of total inorganic carbon (TIC) in sealed serum flasks with a headspace volume. The test item, as sole source of carbon corresponding to 20 mg TOC/L (standard concentration), respectively 2 - 40 mg TOC/L (accepted concentration range), is added to a mineral salts medium, and is inoculated with activated sludge (4 mg d.s. /L). The test flasks are sealed and incubated at 20 - 25°C in the dark for 28 days. Degradation is followed by determining the carbon dioxide produced via TIC-measurement (TIC = total inorganic carbon) after absorption to sodium hydroxide. The amount of carbon dioxide produced from the test item less the amount derived from the blank inoculum is expressed as a percentage of ThIC (theoretical amount of inorganic carbon) that corresponds to the TOC (total organic carbon).
The pass level for ready biodegradability is 60% of ThIC and must be reached within a 10-d window (10 days after the degree of biodegradation has reached 10%).
The degradation extent in the toxicity control was 34.3% within 14 days (tab. 3). According to the guideline the test substance had no inhibitory effect on the inoculum.
The reference compound sodium benzoate reached the pass level for ready biodegradability within 7 days.
The highest mean TIC produced in the blank flasks was 1.2 mg/L in 28 days (less TIC of NaOH produced during sampling).
The test is valid according to OECD 310 (September 2014).
No degradation could be observed within the test duration (28 days). The biodegradation extent of the test item at the end of the test showed a slight negative value (-0.46%, mean of five replicates).
In conclusion, no degradation could be observed within the test duration (28 days).
The test item did not reach the criteria for ready biodegradability (60% of ThIC within a 10-d window).
