Any other information on results incl. tables

On the soil surface, the test substance potentially photodegrades or volatilizes (Kondo, 1978).


The test substance is easily oxidized (Budavari et al., 1989) and may thus react with natural oxidants in soil.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
At the soil surface, the test substance is subjected to photodegradation and volitalization, while in soil it may be readily oxidized.
