Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
25 April to 6 June 2012
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Data have been generated according to current internationally recognised study guidelines and in accordance with GLP.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 301 C (Ready Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test (I))
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
mixture of sewage, soil and natural water
Duration of test (contact time):
28 d
Initial conc.:
100 mg/L
Based on:
test mat.
Reference substance:
aniline
Parameter:
other: BOD
Value:
0
Sampling time:
28 d
Parameter:
% degradation (DOC removal)
Value:
4
Sampling time:
28 d
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the ready biodegradation test, the substance is not readily biodegradable.
Executive summary:

The ready biodegradation was assessed according to the OECD 301C MITI biodegradation test in compliance with GLP. The substance was assessed over a 28 -day exposure period in the presence of a standard sewage sludge inoculum alongside an aniline standard. The test substance achieved 0% biodegradation and no detected chemical change after 28 days. The substance is not readily biodegradable and is considered to be persistent in the aquatic environment.
