WP 6 – BIODEGRADABILITY

WP 6 – BIODEGRADABILITY OBJECTIVES – SCOPE

WP 6 – BIODEGRADABILITY - OBJECTIVES – SCOPE

PRODUCT USE/DISPOSAL CONTROLLED UNCONTROLLED (LITTER)

WASTEWATER SOLID WASTE OPEN WATER SOIL MARINE AEROBIC TREATMENT COMPOSTING ANAEROBIC TREATMENT BIOGASIFICATION LANDFILL USE OF COMPOST I N SOIL ANAEROBIC STABILISATION CENTRAL HOME

WP 6 – BIODEGRADABILITY : WHY ?

* OECD GUIDELINES FOR TESTING OF CHEMICALS : SIMPLE, UNIFORM MOLECULAR STRUCTURES (detergents) NOW : COMPLEX, HETEROPOLYMER STRUCTURES * REPRODUCABILITY (intra, inter, but also GEOGRAPHICALLY) * CREDABILITY (many false claims, much miscommunication) * DISTINCTION TEST METHODS vs ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA * STANDARDISATION (CEN – ISO)

* AQUATIC :

nitrification
long-term tests
standard inoculum
microbial diversity
suitable reference

* SOIL :

nature (granulometry) + geography of soil
standard inoculum
microbial diversity
nutrients
suitable reference
weathering
aeration
effect of T

WP 6 – BIODEGRADABILITY : WHY ? WP 6 – BIODEGRADABILITY PROJECT DESCRIPTION

* Task 6.1. LISTING AND CRITICAL REVIEW OF CURRENT STANDARDS (worldwide, biodegradation + environmental safety, weathering) * Task 6.2. DEVELOPMENT BIODEGRADATION TESTS AND SCHEME for LUBRICANTS and SOLVENTS (different types of soil and water, also anaerobic + marine;

ptimisation, specifications)

* Task 6.3. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY : TESTS + SPECS * Task 6.4. VALIDATION (correlation with real-life, reproducibility, round-robin tests)
