Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
RS-Freetext:
Model experiments in an artificial stream with an initial
concentration of 12.2 ug anthracene/l showed that
photooxidative reaction of anthracene to anthraquinone is
the main degradation pathway (half-life: 43 min); sediments
and periphytes seemed to be major sinks (0.2 and 0.04 %).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
