Any other information on results incl. tables

The closed bottle test (OECD 301D) showed no biodegradation

after 30 days .

4 -chloroaniline - tested concentrations were in the range of measured

toxicity for bacteria.



Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Executive summary:

No degradation of 4 -Chloroaniline was found in a standardized test similar to the OECD Guideline 301 D (Ready Biodegradability: Closed Bottle Test) (Janicke and Hilge, 1980).
