m- / p-CRESOL MIXTURE<br />

3. ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND PATHWAYS ID: 15831-10-4<br />

DATE: 24.05.2004<br />

Test condition : screening optimized for mechanistic study<br />

m-cresol concentration: 200, 400 or 1000 mg/l<br />

incubation for 6 w at 37 degrees C<br />

Reliability : (4) not assignable<br />

No standard test procedure, but in accordance with generally<br />

accepted scientific standards; not relevant for purpose of<br />

HPV program<br />

12.05.2004 (32)<br />

Type : anaerobic<br />

Inoculum : other: anaerobic sludge, adapted<br />

Concentration : 300 mg/l related to Test substance<br />

related to<br />

Deg. product : yes<br />

Method : other: see test condition<br />

Year : 1986<br />

GLP : no<br />

Test substance : other TS: m-cresol, no purity reported (Aldrich chemicals) (methyl 14Clabelled<br />

from Pathfinder Lab.)<br />

Deg. products : 74-82-8 200-812-7 methane<br />

Result : Degradation: ca. 100 % after 9 days<br />

Most of the methyl carbon of m-cresol (87 %) was converted<br />

to CH4.<br />

Test condition : preincubation for 2-3 months<br />

incubation for 20 d at 37 degrees C<br />

Test substance : 14C-methyl labeled<br />

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

No standard test procedure, but in accordance with generally<br />

accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient<br />

detail<br />

12.05.2004 (33)<br />

Type : anaerobic<br />

Inoculum : anaerobic sludge<br />

Concentration : 50 mg/l related to DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon)<br />

related to<br />

Deg. product : yes<br />

Method : other: measured<br />

Year : 1982<br />

GLP : no<br />

Test substance : other TS: m-cresol, purity > 95 %<br />

Deg. products : 74-82-8 200-812-7 methane<br />

Method : - Sludge from 2 municipal plants<br />

- Methane production monitored<br />

- HPLC to monitor disappearance of substrate<br />

Result : mineralization (related to theoretical methane and CO2<br />

production) was 92% after 4 weeks with the first sludge and<br />

90% after 5 weeks with the second<br />

Test condition : incubation at 35 degrees C in the dark, 10 % sludge<br />

inoculum, duplicate tests<br />

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

No standard test procedure, but in accordance with generally accepted<br />

scientific standards and described in sufficient detail<br />

12.05.2004 (34)<br />

Type : anaerobic<br />

Inoculum : other: anoxic lake sediment<br />

Concentration : .1 mg/l related to Test substance<br />

.8 mg/l related to Test substance<br />
