The calibration of the DU-640B spectrophotometer was checked prior to use in the study by analyzing a set of sealed standards: benzene vapor for wavelength resolution, samarium perchlorate for wavelength calibration, saturated lithium carbonate for stray light and potassium dichromate for p hotometric accuracy
Details on test conditions:
A UV/Visible absorption experiment was conducted with BIOBAN CS-1246 in methanol to determine the possibility of direct photolysis. The absorbance of the test substance >290 nm was used to predict the half-life of photolysis of the test substance at 40 °N latitude in summer, assuming a quantum yield of 1.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
not applicable
Test performance:
A UV/Visible spectrum study was conducted with BIOBAN CS-1246 (5-ethyl-1-aza-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane) following OECD 101 guidelines. UV/Visible spectral analyses in the wavelength range of 200-800 nm were carried out with BIOBAN CS-1246 solutions prepared in methanol, and adjusted to pH 2 and 10. The absorption maxima ranged from 201 to 209 nm for all solutions tested. Molar absorption coefficients at the UVmax were determined to be 28, 107 and 37 L mol-1 cm-1 at pH <2, 7.6 and >10, respectively.
The UV absorption characteristics of BIOBAN CS-1246 were also investigated as Tier 1 of the aqueous photolysis study following OPPTS 835.2210 guidelines, to determine if there was significant absorbance >290 nm, and thus, the possibility of photolysis. Assuming a quantum yield of 1 and using the spectral data from the test substance in methanol, the maximum half-life was estimated to be 63 days. Based on the results of the Tier 1 experiment, significantly less than 50% photodegradation would occur over a 30-day period, therefore a Tier 2 experiment was not necessary. The results of the study indicate that aqueous photolysis of BIOBAN CS-1246 is not expected to be a major degradation pathway for the test substance in the environment.
