Description of key information
Readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria: 92% after 30 days based on O2 consumption (OECD 301 D).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
One non-GLP study on ready biodegradation of C8-14AS TEA (CAS 85665-45-8) is available (Richterich 2007). The test was performed according to OECD guideline 301 D. Effluent from a sewage treatment plant treating domestic sewage was used as inoculum and the initial concentrations of the substance were 1 mg/L and 2.5 mg/L. After 30 days the biodegradation measured as O2 consumption reached 97% at the concentration of 1 mg/L and 92% at the concentration of 2.5 mg/L. C8-14AS TEA (CAS 85665-45-8) is considered as readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
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.
