Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
The % degradation (% ThCO2 formation) exceeded 10% within 2 to 3 days for both concentrations of the test material and subsequently exceeded the 60% pass level within the 10 day window.
Therefore, epoxidised soybean oil is readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
There is no ready biodegradability data available for EPO. A read across approach was conducted with a ready biodegradability study from ESBO (EC No. 232-391-0).
The read-across ready biodegradability study (RL2) was conducted according to OECD 301 B. In the study, the % degradation (% ThCO2 formation) exceeded 10% within 2 to 3 days for both concentrations of the test material and subsequently exceeded the 60% pass level within the 10 day window. Therefore, epoxidised soybean oil is readily biodegradable.
The full read-across report justification is attached.
