Description of key information

3,5,5-Trimethylhexanoic acid is readily biodegradable (Harlan, 2010).

No simulation test data on biodegradation in surface waters and sediments are available.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In accordance with column 2 of Annex IX, the study does not need to be conducted if the substance is readily biodegradable. 3,5,5-Trimethylhexanoic acid is readily biodegradable (Harlan, 2010).
