Purpose
The test item was investigated for its ready biodegradability in a GLP study according to OECD TG 301C over a period of 28 days. The biodegradation was followed by the oxygen uptake of the microorganisms during exposure. As a reference item aniline was tested simultaneously under the same conditions as the test item and functioned as a procedure control. The chemical analysis of the test material was performed using HPLC.
Result
Biodegradation of test item
After correction of the mean biochemical oxygen demand of the inoculum controls at the end of the 28 -day exposure period a degradation of 0 % as found.
Biodegradation of aniline
The reference item was sufficiently degraded to 69 % after 14 days and to 75 % after 28 days of incubation, thus confirming the suitability of the used activated sludge inoculum.
Conclusion
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.

Purpose
The test item was investigated for its ready biodegradability in a Manometric Respirometry Test over a period of 28 days. The biodegradation was followed by the oxygen uptake of the microorganisms during exposure. As a reference item sodium benzoate was tested simultaneously under the same conditions as the test item, and functioned as a procedure control.The GLP study was performed according to OECD TG 301F.
Result
Biodegradation of test item
During the 28-day exposure period the max. degradation 3 % was determined for the test item.
Oxygen demand in the abiotic control was zero and thus, no correction of the test item degradation rates had to be done.
Biodegradation of Sodium Benzoate
The reference item was sufficiently degraded to a mean of 70 % after 4 days, and to a mean of 92 % after 28 days of incubation, thus confirming the suitability of the used activated sludge inoculum.
Biodegradation in the Toxicity Control
In the toxicity control containing both, the test item and the reference item, 34 % biodegradation was noted within 14 days and 35 % biodegradation was determined after 28 days of incubation. Thus, the test item can be assumed to be not inhibitory on the activated sludge micro organisms.
Conclusion
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.
