Executive summary:

Ready Biodegradability Prediction: NO

Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
September- December 2019
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 301 B (Ready Biodegradability: CO2 Evolution Test)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
All three deviation are considered as "uncritical concerning the outcome of the study."
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, domestic, non-adapted
Details on inoculum:
Activated sludge from a biologic sewage treatment plant was used as inoculum. The chosen plant treats mostly domestic sewage.
The sludge was taken from the activation basin of the ESN (Stadtentsorgung Neustadt) sewage treatment plant, Im Altenschemel, 67435 NW-Lachen-Speyerdorf.
Date of collection: 31. Oct. 2019, batch no: E20191031.
The sludge was filtrated, washed with test medium (2x) and re-suspended in test medium. It was then aerated until use. The dry matter was determined to contain 3.10 g of suspended solids/L.
Duration of test (contact time):
28 d
Initial conc.:
20 mg/L
Based on:
TOC
Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
CO2 evolution
Details on study design:
Flask volume 1500 mL
Apparatus blanks 2, containing mineral medium only
Blank Controls 2, containing mineral medium and inoculum
Positive control flasks 2, containing positive control, mineral medium and inoculum
Test flasks 2, containing test item, mineral medium and inoculum
Abiotic control 1, containing test item, mineral medium and HgCl2
Toxicity control 1, containing test item, positive control, mineral medium and in-oculum
Inoculum concentration: 25.0 mg/L
Temperature 19.2 – 21.1 °C without direct lighting
Duration 28 days
The test was performed with a nominal start concentration of 20 mg organic carbon/L of the test item.
Reference substance:
aniline
Key result
Parameter:
% degradation (CO2 evolution)
Value:
4
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
10-day-window: not detected
degradation at the end of 10-day-window none
degradation at the end of the test 4 %
pass level following guideline: 60 % at the end of 10-day-window for pure substances
respective 60 % at the end of the test for mixtures
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Applying the 10-day-window, the test item E17-194T is not readily biode-gradable following OECD 301B and EU C.4-C respectively.
Executive summary:

Applying the 10-day-window, the test item E17-194T is not readily biode-gradable following OECD 301B and EU C.4-C respectively.
