Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
1272W94 attained 27% degradation after 28days and therefore cannot be considered as readily biodegradable.
Executive summary:

The study investigated the ready biodegradability of 1272W94 when exposed to micro-organisms under aerobic conditions. the method followed the recommendations of OECD Guideines for Testing of Chemicals (1992) No. 301B "Ready Biodegradability; CO2 evolution test. 1272W94 attained 27% degradation after 28days and therefore cannot be considered as readily biodegradable.
