Study design

Oxygen conditions:

aerobic

Inoculum or test system:

activated sludge, domestic, non-adapted

Details on inoculum:

- Source of inoculum/activated sludge (e.g. location, sampling depth, contamination history, procedure):activated sludge, micro organisms from a domestic waste water treatment plant
- OriginMunicipal sewage treatment plant
- Conditioning: The activated sludge used for this study was washed by centrifugation and the supernatant liquid phase was decanted. The solid material was re-suspended in tap water and centrifuged again. This procedure was repeated twice.
- Concentration of suspended solids per litre: 30 mg

Duration of test (contact time):

28 d

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Interpretation of results:

not readily biodegradable

Conclusions:

The degradation rate of the test material did not reach 60 % within the 10-day window and after 28 days of incubation. Thus the test item is not readily biodegradable.

Executive summary:

The informtion for this endpoint study record was obtained from an experimental study. The OECD GLP criteria were met and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD TG 301C. The degradation rate of the test material did not reach 60 % within the 10-day window and after 28 days of incubation. Thus the test item is not readily biodegradable.
