Results and discussion

% Degradation
Parameter:
% degradation (CO2 evolution)
Value:
ca. 7 - <= 21
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
The temperature recorded in a vessel with water in the same room varied between 21.7 and 22.6 degree celsius with the pH values varying between 7.6 and 8.2.

BOD5 / COD results

Results with reference substance:
In the toxicity control more than 25% degradation occurred within 14 days. Therefore, the test substance was assumed to be not inhibitory on microbial activity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not inherently biodegradable
Conclusions:
The test substance was not readily biodegradable under the conditions of the modified sturm test presently performed.
Executive summary:

Not readily biodegradable
