- Details on inoculum:
- - Source of activated sludge: The study was performed with aerobic activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant (ARA Ergolz II, Füllinsdorf, Switzerland) treating predominantly domestic wastewater.
- Pretreatment: The sludge was washed twice with tap water by centrifugation and the supernatant liquid phase was decanted. During holding, the sludge was aerated at room temperature until use.
- Concentration of sludge: A homogenized aliquot of the final sludge suspension was weighed, thereafter dried and the ratio of wet to dry weight was calculated. Based on this ratio, calculated amounts of wet sludge were suspended in test water to obtain a concentration equivalent to 4 g (±10%) dry material per liter. Prior to use, the sludge was diluted with test water to a concentration of 1 g per liter (dry weight basis). Based on the determined dry weight of this diluted activated sludge, defined amounts were added to test water to obtain a final concentration of 30 mg dry material per liter. - Duration of test (contact time):
- 28 d
- Initial conc.:
- 102 mg/L
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Remarks:
- Average concentration of two replicates
- Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
- O2 consumption
- Details on study design:
- TEST CONDITIONS
- Test temperature: 22 ˚C, maintained with a built-in thermostat and checked once per week.
- pH: 7.3 - 7.5 (Starts); 7.3 - 7.7 (end)
- pH adjusted: The pH was adjusted from 8.0 to 7.4 with a diluted hydrochloric acid solution.
- Test water preparation and composition: The test water was prepared according to the testing guidelines. Analytical grade salts were dissolved in purified water to obtain the followirlg stock solutions:
a) KH2PO4 (8.50 g/L), K2HPO4 (21.75 g/L), Na2HPO4 x 2H2O (33.40 g/L), NH4CI (0.50 g/L). The pH of this solution was 7.4.
b) MgSO4 x 7H2O (22.50 g/L)
c) CaCl2 x 2H2O (36.40 g/L)
d) FeCb x 6H2O (0.25 g/L, stabilized with one drop of concentrated HCI per liter)
To obtain the final test water, 10 mL of stock solution a) and 1 mL each of stock solutions b) - d) were combined and made up to 1000 mL with purified water.
- Suspended solids concentration: 30 mg dry material/L
- Continuous darkness: Yes
- Electro-chemical analysis process: The biodegradation process consumes the dissolved oxygen in the liquid and generates CO2. The CO2 is adsorbed by soda lime and the total pressure decreases in the airtight test 'flasks. 'The pressure drop is detected and converted into an electrical signal by means of an electrode type manometer. The consumed oxygen is replaced by electrolytically generated oxygen from a copper sulfate solution.

- Details on results:
- An overview of the results is provided in Table 2 and Table 3 in 'Any other information on results incl. tables'.
BIODEGRADATION OF THE TEST ITEM
The percent biodegradation of the test item was calculated based on the theoretical oxygen demand of 2.00 mg O2/mg test item without nitrification (ThODNH4), and 2.54 mg O2/mg test item with nitrification (ThODNo3). The oxygen consumption of the test item test item in the test media was in the range of the oxygen consumption of the inoculum controls. Consequently, test item was not biodegradable under the test conditions within 28 days. However, in the toxicity control an oxygen consumption exceeding the ThOD of the reference item (sodium benzoate) was observed, suggesting that the test item was co-metabolized in the presence of sodium benzoate.
- Abiotic control: No degradation of the test item occurred in the abiotic control under the test conditions within 28 days.
BIODEGRADATION IN THE TOXICITY CONTROL
The percent biodegradation in the toxicity control, containing both the test item and the reference item, was calculated based on the sum of the ThOD of the test item (ThODNH4 or ThODNO3) and the reference item. Up to about Exposure Day 4, the course of biodegradation in the toxicity control was similar to the two procedure controls, containing only the reference item. Thus, the oxygen consumption durirrg the first four days can primarily be attributed to the biodegradation of the reference item. From Exposure Day 5 to the end of the test, an oxygen consumption exceeding the ThOD of the reference item (sodium benzoate) was observed in the toxicity control, suggesting that the test item was biodegraded in the presence of sodium benzoate. This process is described in literature as co-metabolism or co-oxidation, and describes the concomitant oxidation of a non-growth substrate during growth of a microorganism on a utilizable carbon and energy source. Within 14 days of exposure, biodegradation amounted to 76% and 66% based on the ThODNH4, and the ThODNO3, respectively. Thus, according to the test guidelines, the test item had no inhibitory effect on activated sludge microorganisms at the tested concentration of 99 mg/L because biodegradation in the toxicity control was > 25% within 14 days. - Results with reference substance:
- The percent biodegradation of the reference item sodium benzoate was calculated based on the theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD) of 1.67 mg O2/mg reference item. In the procedure control, the reference item was degraded by 88% by Exposure Day 14, thus confirming suitability of the activated sludge. At the end of the test (Day 28), the reference item was degraded by 93%.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Conclusions:
- In a 28-day ready biodegradability study in accordance with OECD TG 301 F, no biodegradation of the test substance was observed. Thus, it is concluded that the test substance is not biodegradable under the test conditions.
- Executive summary:
The ready biodegradability of the test item was investigated using aerobic activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant (ARA Ergolz II, Fijllinsdorf, Switzerland) treating predominantly domestic wastewater. The test was conducted according to EU Commission Directive 92/69 EEC, C.4-D and OECD TG 301 F and in compliance with GLP criteria. The test sludge was incubated with 102 mg/L of the test substance (2 replicates) at 22 °C in the darkness for 28 days under continuous stirring. An inoculum control (2 replicates), a procedure control (100 mg/L sodium benzoate; 2 replicates), an abiotic control (100 mg/L the test substance and 10 mg/L mercury dichloride; 1 replicate) and a toxicity control (99 mg/L the test substance and 100 mg/L sodium benzoate; 1 replicate) were incubated under the same conditions as the test substance. Oxygen consumption was recorded daily reading at least on each working day. The biodegradation was calculated based on the biochemical oxygen demand of the test or reference item and the theoretical oxygen demand of the test or reference item, without or with nitrification.
In the procedure control, the reference item (sodium benzoate) was degraded by 88% on Day 14 and reached a biodegradation of 93% by the end of the test (Day 28), thus confirming suitability of the activated sludge. In the toxicity control, no inhibitory effect on the biodegradation of the reference item was determined. Thus, the test item had no inhibitory effect on the activity of activated sludge microorganisms at the tested concentration of 99 mg/L. After 28 days incubation, the oxygen consumption of the test item in the test media was in the range of the oxygen consumption of the inoculum controls. Consequently, the test item was not biodegradable under the test conditions within 28 days. However, in the toxicity control, an oxygen consumption exceeding the ThOD of the reference item was observed, suggesting that the test item was co-metabolized in the presence of sodium benzoate. No degradation of the test item occurred in the abiotic control under the test conditions during the test. Based on these findings, it is concluded that the test substance is not biodegradable under the test conditions.

Additional information
There is one ready biodegradability study available, which followed EU Commission Directive 92/69 EEC, C.4-D and OECD TG 301 F and complied with GLP criteria. The ready biodegradability of the test item was investigated using aerobic activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant (ARA Ergolz II, Fijllinsdorf, Switzerland) treating predominantly domestic wastewater. The test sludge was incubated with 102 mg/L of the test substance (2 replicates) at 22 °C in the darkness for 28 days under continuous stirring. An inoculum control (2 replicates), a procedure control (100 mg/L sodium benzoate; 2 replicates), an abiotic control (100 mg/L the test substance and 10 mg/L mercury dichloride; 1 replicate) and a toxicity control (99 mg/L the test substance and 100 mg/L sodium benzoate; 1 replicate) were incubated under the same conditions as the test substance. Oxygen consumption was recorded daily and read at least on each working day. The biodegradation was calculated based on the biochemical oxygen demand of the test or reference item and the theoretical oxygen demand of the test or reference item, without or with nitrification. After 28 days of incubation, no biodegradation of the test substance was observed. Thus, it is concluded that the test substance is not biodegradable under the test conditions.
