Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate is 50% biodegradable in water in 38 days (half-life). This value indicates that ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate is readily biodegradable in water since the half life is less than the EPA criteria of >= 60 days (to qualify the chemical as persistent).
Executive summary:

Based on level III fugacity model the half life period ofethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetatewas estimated.Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate is 50% biodegradable in water in 38 days (half-life). This value indicates that ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate is readily biodegradable in water since the half life is less than the EPA criteria of >= 60 days (to qualify the chemical as persistent).
