Description of key information
Dimethyl phophonate (DMP,) one of the main components of phosphitester residues, shows some degradation but is not considered as ready biodegradable. As worst case approach, also phosphitester residue is considered as not readiyl biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
