Description of key information

Substance is mineralized to some extend in soil. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In soil 8% of the initially applied amount were completely mineralized within 14 days under aerobic conditions, although 63% of the radioactivity recovered was not extractable (mass balance 83.9%) (Fischer 1999). The main degradation product was identified upon its mass spectra to be 7,9-di-tert-butyl-1-oxaspiro[4,5]deca-6,9-diene-2,8-dione.
