Details on inoculum:
Source and type: Cleaned activated adapted sludge from the industrial sewage plant ARA of the Industriepark Höchst
Used amount: 13.7 mL/L sludge suspension
Content of solid: 2.2 g/L (dry substance)
Content in the end testing volume: 30 g/L (dry substance)
Acclimatization status: Not acclimatized to the test item and reference substance
Duration of test (contact time):
28 d
Initial test substance concentration
Initial conc.:
100 mg/L
Based on:
other: calculated from TOC and Purity of the test item
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:

Control preparations:
reference substance: 100mg/L in dilution water
abiotic control: test preparation without inokulum, with addition of 2x100 mg/L HgCl2 during test performance
Inhibition control: 100 mg/L reference substance and 100 mg/L test item in dilution water
Reference substance
Reference substance:

Results and discussion

% Degradation
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
ca. 30
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
Due to the elimination caused by the abiotic control (elimination 21% after 3 days, 28% after 28 days) no evaluation of the biological degradability of the test item can be stated.
For the results of the elimination the test item can be evaluated as moderately eliminable under the test conditions.
The elimination rate DThSB was 30% after 28 days, the CSB-elimination came up to 31% after 28 days.

BOD5 / COD results

Results with reference substance:
The degradability of the reference substance was >60% after 14 days.
The rate of degradability of the inhibition control was >40%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
other: 7-ACA is moderately eliminable under the test conditions
Conclusions:
Due to the elimination caused by the abiotic control (elimination 21% after 3 days, 28% after 28 days) no evaluation of the biological degradability of the test item can be stated.
For the results of the elimination the test item can be evaluated as moderately eliminable under the test conditions.
The elimination rate DThSB was 30% after 28 days, the CSB-elimination came up to 31% after 28 days.
