Environmental behaviour in lab. tests

  

Knowledge about the biotic and abiotic conversion of substances is an important prerequisite for assessing the risks of chemicals in the environment. In addition to the conversion of substances their translocation and the associated discharge into neighbouring environmental compartments also play an important role in a complementary environmental risk assessment. Tests which help describe the behaviour of substances in the environment are required for pesticides, biocides, chemicals and increasingly also for drugs under standardised, internationally recognised test conditions and in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP).

SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS offers a wide range of tests in this field. Our many years of experience, a team of experts and the continuous further development of our test systems and adapting the test methods to the state of the art give our customers the security of knowing that they will have regulatory acceptance. In addition to standard protocols for specific regions (e.g. US, EU, Japan, OECD) we have also developed test protocols that ensure global acceptance of the tests. In some cases, standardised test systems are not adequate to assess the risks of substances. SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS has experience in assessing the risks of substances in the environment and advises customers in these specific cases.

Our range of services:

Consulting/evaluation
  • Checking existing data as a basis for environmental risk assessments.

  • Developing a test strategy.


Biotic degradation/metabolism
  • Degradation in soils and water/sediment systems under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

  • Determining the degradation kinetics in the soil and water/sediment systems.


Abiotic degradation
  • Hydrolysis in relation to pH

  • Oil photolysis

  • Water photolysis

  • Calculation of the degradation kinetics

  • Estimation of degradation due to sunlight


Displacement
  • Leaching into the soil

  • Volatisation of soil and plant surfaces

  • Adsorption/desorption on soils and sediments


Exposure estimates
Calculation of the predicted environmental concentration (PEC) in soils, water and sediment as well as the air. Determination of the degradation kinetics.
