Details on results:
Study was conducted to determine percent degradation of test chemical. Test chemical undergoes 0 and 2% degradation by O2 consumption and HPLC parameter in 28 days.
Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Study was conducted to determine percent degradation of test chemical. Test chemical undergoes 0 and 2% degradation by O2 consumption and HPLC parameter in 28 days.
Executive summary:

Biodegradation study was conducted for 28 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of test chemical. Activated sludge was used as a test inoculums for the study. Concentration of inoculum i.e, sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of test chemical was determined to be 0 and 2 % degradation by O2 consumption and HPLC parameter in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, test chemical is considered to be not readily biodegradable in water.
