Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
biodegradation in soil: simulation testing
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is readily biodegradable
Endpoint:
biodegradation in soil: simulation testing
Type of information:
other: published data
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Justification for type of information:
The test substance (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate as a read across for Sodium cumenesulphonate)
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 307 (Aerobic and Anaerobic Transformation in Soil)
GLP compliance:
not specified
Test type:
laboratory
Radiolabelling:
yes
Oxygen conditions:
aerobic/anaerobic
Soil classification:
other: Alfisol
Details on soil characteristics:
- Soil : Air-dried and sifted to a particle size of 0.125 mmparticle size distribution ; Clay(<2 μm) 17%, silt(2-63 μm) 75%, sand(0.63-2 mm) 8%, organic matter 2.45%- Soil pH : 7.3
Initial conc.:
15 other: μg
Based on:
test mat.
Details on experimental conditions:
- Experience vessels; 1 litre wide-mouth bottles- Incubation mixture; 50g soil and 150ml water were equilibrated for 7 days at 35 deg C in oxygen or nitrogen. Then 15μg of 14C-labelled chemical was added in aqueous solution ot suspension.- Mechnical mixing; continuous shaking in a water bath (35 deg C)
% Degr.:
>= 40.6 - <= 51.9
Parameter:
CO2 evolution
Sampling time:
42 d
Transformation products:
yes
Conclusions:
The test substance (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate as a read across for Sodium cumenesulphonate) was readily biodegradable. And the degradation (mineralization) values in anaerobic environment was faster than those in aerobic environment

Description of key information

The study does not need to be conducted because the substance is ready biodegradable.

The test substance (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate as a read across for Sodium cumenesulphonate) was readily biodegradable. And the degradation (mineralization) values in anaerobic environment was faster than those in aerobic environment.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in soil:
42 d
at the temperature of:
20 °C
