Endpoint:
biodegradation in soil: simulation testing
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is readily biodegradable
Justification for type of information:
The Biodegradation in water screening test demonstrated that, although the submission item did not meet the 10d-window criteria for being considered as “Ready Biodegradable”, there was substantial microbial metabolism of the submission item. Therefore, it is likely that the submission item also significantly degrades in sediment and soil. An experimental verification of this assumption is not deemed necessary.
