Executive summary:

The ready biodegradability was studied with a method corresponding to the OECD TG 301C, Modified MITI (I) test (MITI-List, 2002). The test concentration was 100 mg/l and activated sludge concentration 30 mg/l. In the aerobic study, the degradation measured as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) was 0% after 14 days.
