Test conditions

Details on test conditions:
Toxicity was measured as a reduction in soil microorganism respiration of CO2. MAA was dissolved in water and the soils (sandy loam soil) amended with MAA yielding concentration of 0.1 - 1000 mg/l. Nutrients were added. CO2 was collected and quantified at various time intervals up to 28 days.
Nominal and measured concentrations:
0.1 - 1000 mg/l
