Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Only one peak identified on HPLC chromatograms attributable to metabolites. This was visible in samples collected on days 1 or 2.
This peak is attributable to monobutyl phthalate and/or monobenzyl phthalate (these substances could not be spectrally distinguished)
This peak is not found is spectrograms of samples taken on day 22, or in samples which were stored in a refrigerator till 60 days after the end of the experiment before analysis.
This suggests that the metabolites degrade rapidly.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The only metabolites of benzyl butyl phthalate identified were monobutyl phthalate and/or monobenzyl phthalate (these substances could not be spectrally distinguished). The metabolites were found to degrade rapidly.
- Executive summary:
In a non-guideline, non-GLP study on the biodegradation of benzyl butyl phthalate the only metabolites identified were monobutyl phthalate and/or monobenzyl phthalate (these substances could not be spectrally distinguished). The metabolites were found to degrade rapidly.
