Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
other: not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
ISO PROPENYL METHYL ETHER was not readily biodegradable under the conditions in the closed bottle test presently performed.
Executive summary:

The relative biodegradation values calculated from the O2 measurements performed during the test period of 28 days revealed significant degradation of ISO PROPENYL METHYL ETHER at both concentrations, i.e. 21 and 20% for the low and high concentration respectively. However, biodegradation of at least 60% was not reached within 10 days of biodegradation exceeding 10%. In conclusion, ISO PROPENYL METHYL ETHER was not readily biodegradable under the conditions in the closed bottle test presently performed.
