Description of key information
4,4-sulphonyldiphenol is considered as not ready biodegradable according to OECD 301 C .
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In a MITI test according to OECD 301C, the biodegradation of 4,4 -sulphonyldiphenol was investigated. Under these test conditions no biodegradation was observed.
Although 4,4'-sulphonydiphenol is assessed as not readily biodegradable, there is evidence that the substance may be degraded by microbial populations after acclimatisation. In fact, in a test conducted according to OECD Guideline 301 B under enhanced conditions, after an adaptation phase of approx 27 days, the biodegradation of 4,4'-sulphonyldiphenol reached 32 % at test termination (day 59). The role of adaptation in the biodegradation process is confirmed by studies dimostrating high removal of 4,4'-sulphonydiphenol from municipal wastewater treatment plants (Qian Sun et al., Environmental Pollution 225: 542 -549, 2017; M. Cesen et al., Science of the Total Environment, 616 -617: 744 -752, 2018; BASF SE, 2006).
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.
