Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:
yes

Test solutions

Vehicle:
no
Details on test solutions:
Test substance was mixed into the test water as homogeneously as possible by ultrasonic treatment for 15 minutes and stirring for 4 hours at room temperature in the dark to dissolve a maximum concentration of the test substance in the dispersion. The supersaturated stock dispersion was filtered through a 0,45 micrometer membrane filter. The undiluted filtrates were used as test stock solutions.
