OECD <strong>SIDS</strong> PROPYLENE GLYCOL<br />

3. Environmental Fate and Pathways<br />

Id 25265-71-8<br />

Date 30.05.2001<br />

Deg. Product :<br />

Method : Directive 87/302/EEC, part C, p. 99 "Biodegradation: Zahn-Wellens test"<br />

Year : 1989<br />

GLP : no data<br />

Test substance : no data<br />

Method : Flasks containing test solution shaken continuously during the study<br />

period. Carbon dioxide production measured at intervals during the test.<br />

No additional study details given. Extent of pre-adaptation of bacteria not<br />

given.<br />

Remark : Original reference not available for review, so methods and results were<br />

described based on a reputable secondary source.<br />

Result : Following pre-adaptation of bacteria, significant degradation of the test<br />

substance was observed during the study.<br />

Source : Lyondell Chemical Co. Houston, Texas<br />

Conclusion : >70% degradation after 28 days<br />

Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

Details on the test procedure and study results are not provided. Details<br />

on the results of analytical measurement of test substance concentrations<br />

in the test solutions and sample purity is not provided.<br />

Flag : Critical study for <strong>SIDS</strong> endpoint<br />

Type : aerobic<br />

Inoculum : activated sludge<br />

Deg. Product :<br />

Method : OECD Guide-line 301 C "Ready Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test (I)"<br />

Year : 1992<br />

GLP : no data<br />

Test substance : no data<br />

Method : Concentration: 30 mg/l substance and 100 mg/l sludge.<br />

Initial inoculation of 30 mg/l test substance to each flask. Respirometer<br />

used to evaluate test substance degradation. No agitation of exposure<br />

solutions during the study period. Carbon dioxide production measured<br />

continuously during the test. No additional study details given.<br />

Remark : Original reference not available for review, so methods and results were<br />

described based on a reputable secondary source.<br />

Result : no measurable degradation during the study period<br />

Source : Lyondell Chemical Co. Houston, Texas<br />

Conclusion : no degradation<br />

Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

Details on the test procedure and study results are not provided. Details<br />

on the results of analytical measurement of test substance concentrations<br />

in the test solutions and sample purity is not provided.<br />
