- Sampling frequency: every other day
Reference substance
Reference substance:
aniline

Results and discussion

Test performance:
The positive control gave the appropriate response.
% Degradation
Key result
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
0
Sampling time:
28 d
Remarks on result:
other: not readily biodegradable

BOD5 / COD results

Results with reference substance:
The test result is valid as the reference substance aniline reached a degradation of 84% with the same activated sludge.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Ready biodegradation was determined acc. OECD 301C with some information lacking. However, given data indicate that the test was properly performed, the positive control gave the appropriate results. Hence, the study is considered to be sufficiently reliable to assess the ready biodegradation of the test item. Biodegradation was determined to be 0% (O2 consumption) after 28 days, hence, the test item is considered to be not readily biodegradable.
Executive summary:

Ready biodegradation of the test item was determined acc. OECD 301C, aniline was the positive control and gave the appropriate results. Biodegradation of the test item was determined to be 0% (O2 consumption) after 28 days, it is not readily biodegradable.
