Title:
Properties of Hydroxyethane Diphosphonate affecting its Environmental Fate: Degradability, Sludge Adsorption, Mobility in Soils, and Bioconcentration
Author:
Steber, J. and Wierich, P.
Year:
1986
Bibliographic source:
Chemosphere 15:7 (1986), 929-945

Materials and methods

Study type:
other: direct photodegradation plus subsequent biotic degradation
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Test in small outdoor basins (volume ca. 3 cubic metres, depth 1 m) filled with water from a reservoir (Verse-dam). Exposure of 14C-HEDP solutions in closed 100 ml test flasks at various depths of water. 14CO2 formed was subsequently trapped in ethanolamine by flushing the flasks with nitrogen (4 h; 1 l/h).  Thereafter, test solutions were inoculated and incubated in the dark ("post-incubation").
