Description of key information
MON 13900 in not readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
A study was performed to assess the ready biodegradability of MON 13900 according to the EU Method C.4-D and OECD Guideline 301 F in compliance with GLP. An automated closed-system oxygen consumption measuring apparatus (Sapromat) was used. The test substance was added to two replicates of test medium solution at a concentration of 21.3 mg in 250 mL. The medium solution was inoculated with activated sludge (pH 7.7) to give 27 mg suspended solids/L. Comparisons were made to untreated inoculated medium and inoculated medium treated with sodium benzoate at 100.0 mg/L. The mixtures were maintained at 20°C for 28 d and the oxygen consumed and carbon dioxide evolved continuously measured. Theoretical oxygen demand was calculated.Under the test conditions, the % biodegradation for two replicates was 0 and 1.5. Hence, the test substance could not be classified as readily biodegradable.
.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.
