m-CRESOL<br />

3. ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND PATHWAYS ID: 108-39-4<br />

DATE: 24.05.2004<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 :<br />

Year : 1988<br />

GLP : no<br />

Test substance : other TS: m-cresol, no purity reported (obtained from Aldrich Chemicals)<br />

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

Method : primary anaerobic digesting sludge receiving a mixture of<br />

domestic and industrial wastewater<br />

Result : lag time 40 days, accompanied with inhibition of gas<br />

production<br />

net total gas production was 75 % +/- 15 % of the theoretical production<br />

(CH4+CO2)<br />

Test condition : - medium 2-3 g dw/l sludge<br />

- incubation for >= 60 d at 35 degrees C<br />

- 3 replicates<br />

- sterile controls for abiotic gas production<br />

- gas production measured with hand-held pressure meter<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 />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

07.05.2004 (39)<br />

Type : aerobic<br />

Inoculum : activated sludge, domestic<br />

Concentration : .05 mg/l related to Test substance<br />

related to<br />

Contact time :<br />

Degradation : 35.6 (±) % after 5 day(s)<br />

Result :<br />

Deg. product :<br />

Method : other: Activated sludge test<br />

Year : 1985<br />

GLP : no<br />

Test substance : other TS: 14C-labelled m-cresol presumably > 98 % purity; no specific<br />

activity given<br />

Remark : The bioaccumulation factor of the substance and its<br />

metabolites in activated sludge was 1100<br />

Result : The readily biodegradable compounds methanol and phenol were about<br />

equally degraded like m-<strong>Cresol</strong> (41, 37 and 36 %)<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 />

Type : aerobic<br />

Inoculum : other bacteria: acclimatized mixed culture of pentachlorophenol-degrading<br />

bacteria<br />

Concentration : 5 mg/l related to Test substance<br />

related to<br />

Contact time : 29 day(s)<br />

Degradation : (±) % after<br />
