Biodegradation in water: screening tests

Administrative data

Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
GLP-study, according to interantional accepted guidelines. Data were taken from the structural analogue beta-Isophoron, CAS 78-59-1. The structural analogue differs in the location of the carbon double bound within the ring structure of the molecule, whereas the rest of the molecule is identical to CAS 471-01-2.
