Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Canton, 1985


Stability experiments: the decline of the concentration of 3-nitrotoluene in non-aerated standardized medium (pH 8 according to Canton and Slooff 1982) was studied at room temperature (25 °C); the analytical analysis was performed using gas chromatography or high-pressure liquid chromatography. A degradation of 18 % was observed after 8 day(s).
