Description of key information

An OECD 301 D Ready Test was conducted on 2 -methyl-p-phenylenediaminesulfate (CAS # 615 -50 -9). Biodegradation was monitored by oxygen consumption.
The biodegradation of the test substance reached 17% on the 28th day. Hence the test material was not readily biodegradable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
inherently biodegradable

Additional information

An OECD 301 D Ready Test was conducted on 2 -methyl-p-phenylenediaminesulfate (CAS # 615 -50 -9). The test concentration was 6 mg/L, and the inoculum concentration was 10(E4)-10(E6) CFU/L. The test treatment, controls, reference, and blank were conducted in duplicate. Biodegradation was monitored by oxygen consumption.

The biodegradation of the test substance reached 17% on the 28th day.

Hence the test material was not readily biodegradable.

The reference material, sodium acetate, reached >60% after day 6 and met 10 day window. It met the validity criteria established in the guideline for a reference material.
