Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
1,3-dihydro-1-oxoisobenzofuran-5-carbonitrile is 50% biodegradable in water in 15 days (half-life) indicating 1,3-dihydro-1-oxoisobenzofuran-5-carbonitrile is readily biodegradable in water since the half life is less than the threshold of 60 days (to qualify the chemical as persistent)
Executive summary:

1,3-dihydro-1-oxoisobenzofuran-5-carbonitrile is 50% biodegradable in water in 15 days (half-life) indicating 1,3-dihydro-1-oxoisobenzofuran-5-carbonitrile is readily biodegradable in water since the half life is less than the threshold of 60 days (to qualify the chemical as persistent).
