Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The biodegradation potential of Pinacolone was determined according to OECD 301F guideline. The study shows that the degradation rate of the test item Pinacolone reached at 30.76% after 28 days of incubation. Therefore, the test substance is not considered to be readly biodegradable.
Executive summary:

The biodegradation potential of Pinacolone was determined according to OECD 301F guideline. The study shows that the degradation rate of the test item Pinacolone reached at 30.76% after 28 days of incubation. Therefore, the test substance is not considered to be readly biodegradable.
