Results and discussion

% Degradation
Remarks on result:
other: The test substance is not readily biodegradable under the conditions of the modified Sturm test.
Details on results:
The relative biodegradation values calculated from the measurements performed during the test period revealed no significant biodegradation of the test substance. In the toxicity control, the test substance was found not to inhibit mircrobial activity. In conclusion the test substance is designated as not readily biodegradable.
