Biodegradation in water: screening tests

Description of key information
In an OECD guideline closed bottle ready biodegradation test, 85% degradation was seen after 28 days when using a micro-organisms seed mixture of synthetic sewage micro-organisms and soil. A significant lag time was seen before degradation commenced. There are insufficient sampling points to be able to determine with certainty whether the 10 day window was met, although the data would suggest that this is more likely to have not been met than to have been met. A conservative interpretation is therefore that the substance is readily biodegradable but fails to meet the 10 day window based on this study.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable but failing 10-day window

Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
