Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The "Confirmatory Test" in a simulated aerobic sewage treatment showed a degradation (elimination) of 15 -20%.

Therefore 3,4 -DCA is regarded as not biodegradable in municipal waste water treatment plants.

Lower adsorbtion was determined with glass materials compared to pvc equipment.

The tested 3,4 -DCA concentrations were in the range of measured toxicity for bacteria.
