Description of key information
The test item is not readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
A ready biodegradation test, similar to the OECD 301B guideline, was conducted on N(B-hydroxyethyl)-2,4-diaminoanisole sulfate. The test material was tested at 40 mg active/L (15.5 mg TOC/L). The inoculum was activated sludge collected from Taylor Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (Harrison, OH) which receives predominantly domestic sewage. The test treatment and inoculum blank were measured in triplicate, while the reference was measured in duplicate. The deviation between replicate treatments was <20% (met the validity criteria of the guideline).
No biodegradation of the test material was observed during the 29 days. The final percentage of biodegradation(CO2 evolution) on Day 29 was -4.1% (mean of 3 flasks with -3.6, -7.5 and -1.2%, respectively).
The test item did not meet the criteria for ready biodegradation.
The reference material, sodium benzoate, reached >10% biodegradation at Day 1, and >60% at Day 4 in both replicates. Hence, it met the validity criteria established in the guideline for a reference material.
No toxicity control was performed during this test. So a toxicity effect of the test matrial on the inoculum cannot be ruled out.
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.
