Description of key information

Total organic carbon (TOC) of Reactive Red 065 was found to be 31 % after 31 days. The BOD5 was fond to be 42 mg O2/g while COD was 688 mg O2/g; so the BOD5/COD ratio calculated as 0.06. Based on this value Reactive Red 065 should be considered as not biodegradable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
not biodegradable
Type of water:
freshwater
