Description of key information

Magnesium Chloride is inorganic and can therefore not undergo any microbial degradation. Therefore, it is scientifically unjustified to study and consider the biodegradation of Magnesium Chloride. In that context, tests on biodegradation in water, sediment and soil were waived.

Additional information

Abiotic degradation

Once released into the environment Magnesium Chloride is unlikely to remain in its original form, but will rapidly react with water (or moist sediments) to form Magnesium and Chloride ions which will combine to form other various inorganic complexes.
