Remarks on result:
other: in the test conditdions (22°C)
Details on results:
The 10-day window criterion is also fulfilled (22% biodegradation on day 1 and 65% on day 11).
Decenal-4-trans did not inhibit the intrinsic respiration of inoculum at the test concentration and was therefore considered to be non toxic to the inoculum at the test concentration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Thus, Decenal-4-trans should be regarded as readily biodegradable according to this test.
