Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- not inherently biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The study was conducted according to DIN 38412 Part 25 (Zahn Wellens Test) and OECD 302 B on the registered substance itself. The method is to be considered scientifically reasonable and suitable for the test item with some deficiencies in documentation, but the available information allows the conclusion that the test was properly conducted. Hence, the results can be considered as reliable to assess inherent biodegradability of the test item. A degradation of 9 % was determined, hence, the test item needs to be classified as not inherently biodegradable.
- Executive summary:
This report is based on a study report “Biodegradability of Gammasäure” (1989), the corresponding raw data and additional information from the executing laboratory “Institut für Umweltanalyse”, Dr. Kanne. Recent regulatory requirements necessitate this re-evaluation.
The study was conducted in accordance with DIN 38412 Part 25 (Zahn Wellens Test). This test method is in all essential parts identical with OECD Guideline 302 B.
A solution of Gammasäure in a mineral medium was inoculated with activated sludge and incubated under aerobic conditions. Degradation was followed by DOC determinations at 3h, 1d, 7 d, 14 d, 21 d, 27 d and 28 d. The reference compound Aniline showed 100 % degradation after 14 days.
Gammasäure showed:
1 % degradation after 3 hours
6 % degradation after 1 days
7 % degradation after 7 days
6 % degradation after 14 days
11 % degradation after 21 days
11 % degradation after 27 days
9 % degradation after 28 days
The result after 3 hours shows that adsorption does not play a significant role. Therefore the results describe biodegradation rather than elimination; the test item is considered to be “not inherently biodegradable“.
