Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests

Administrative data

Endpoint:

biodegradation in water: simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water

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 potential of the test substance to biodegrade aerobically was tested in the OECD 301B test. After 28 days a degradation of 66 % (CO2) resp. 78 % (DOC) was determined. The substance was judged to be readily biodegradable.
