Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The half-life period of the substance sodium 2-amino-5-nitrobenzenesulphonate in water is 38 d and based on this value it can concluded that the substance is not persistent in water medium.
Executive summary:

The half-life period of the substance sodium 2-amino-5nitro benzene sulphonate in water is 38 d and based on this value it can concluded that the substance is not persistent in water medium since the half-life is less than the threshold of 60 days (to qualify the chemical as persistent). Also the diffusion percentage of sodium 2-amino-5nitro benzene sulphonate in water medium is 35%. This coupled with the dilution of water shall result in ready biodegradability of the chemical.
