Reference
The test could not properly investigate possible ready biodegradability since the test substance was inhibitory to microorganisms.
Biodegradation in the toxicity control was 37.7% within 14 days since test initiation.
DEVIATIONS:
The temperature reached a min. of 19.7°C and a max. of 24.6°C, which is higher than the deviation specified by the guideline (22 +/-2°C). However the temperature was within the range of 22 +/-2°C for 98.5% of the experimental time. Therefore, it is not expected that the short time would have affected the organisms and the test result.
The number of viable cells and suspended solids concentration of the inoculum was different that specified in the guideline. The concentrations were 10^7 - 10^8 and <<30 mg/L, respectively. The procedure control reached the acceptability criteria of the study. Therefore it is concluded that this incident did not affect the final result of the study.

Description of key information
Zinc bis dimethyldithiocarbamate (CAS No. 137-30-4) is not readily biodegradable: 7.7% (CO2 evolution) in 28 days (OECD 301 B)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- not biodegradable
- Type of water:
- freshwater
Additional information
One study investigating the ready biodegradability of zinc bis dimethyldithiocarbamate (CAS No. 137-30-4) is available (2007). This test was conducted according to the OECD Guideline No. 301B (1992). Non-adapted activated sludge was exposed for 28 days to a test substance concentration of 42.5 mg/L. A procedure and a toxicity control were run in parallel. The test substance reached a maximum of 7.7% biodegradation after 28 d and therefore, it is considered as not readily biodegradable. In the toxicity control 37.7% degradation was observed within 14 days. Some inhibition occurred during that study as stated by the authors.
