Additional information

Unilever (1994) is a ready biodegradability study following OECD guideline 301B. There were slight deviations from the method with regard to the mineral salts medium but these are not expected to have affected the result. The study can be considered to be reliable with restrictions and suitable for use for this endpoint.
