Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Interpretation of results:
other: DOC quickly disappears
Conclusions:
The DOC disappears quickly (91 % DOC removal after 5 days of incubation). The study does not allow differentiation between volatilization and mineralisation. Therefore, a conclusion regarding ready biodegradability is not possible.
