Results and discussion

% Degradation
Parameter:
% degradation (CO2 evolution)
Value:
< 10
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
No significant (>10 %) degradation of test item occurred.
Theoretical CO2 production (ThCO2) was estimated to be 2.1 mg CO2 /mg.
In the toxicity control, the test item was found to be not inhibitory.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
No significant (up to 10 %) degradation occurred within 28 days, therefore, the substance is considered not readily biodegradable.
