Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In order to determine the hydrolysis of MCPA-2EH the behaviour of the substance in water was investigated with MCPA-2EH technical. following acidification, partitioning with ethyl acetate and concentration the samples were analysed by reverse phase HPLC. HPLC analysis of the extracts showed that MCPA-2EH was rapidly degraded in natural water to MCPA acid.The determined half-life of MCPA-2H was below 8 hours at pH 7 and 50 °C and, thus, it is not stable and unlikely that MCPA-2 will be persistent in water.
