Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
2-aminobenzene-1, 4-disulphonic acid is likely to show 50% biodegradation in water in 15 days (half-life) indicating that it is not persistent (readily biodegradable) in water while in sediment it is likely to show 50% biodegradable in 140 days (half-life) indicating that it is persistent(not readily biodegradable) in sediment.
Executive summary:

2-aminobenzene-1, 4-disulphonic acid is likely to show 50% biodegradation in water in 15 days (half-life) indicating that it is not persistent (readily biodegradable) in water while in sediment it is likely to show 50% biodegradable in 140 days (half-life) indicating that it is persistent(not readily biodegradable) in sediment.
