Description of key information
The substance sodium cumenesulphonate is biodegradable (> 60% THCO2 within 28 days), more than 60% after 6 days.Biodegradation constitutes the primary elimination mechanism from the environment. Studies with sodium cumenesulphonate demonstrate rapid and complete biodegradation under aerobic conditions and sodium cumenesulphonate is considered to be readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
There is no known anaerobic biodegradation data on sodium cumenesulphonate. Due to the presence of the sulphonated aromatic group, sodium cumenesulphonate is not expected to biodegrade to a significant extent under anaerobic conditions. However, considering their ready aerobic biodegradability and their low potential for adsorption to sediment solids (log Kow), the presence of sodium cumenesulphonate in anaerobic environments is expected to be negligible.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
