Description of key information

Mineralization of 14C acetone was studied in 20 - 40 years old refuse from three parts of a landfill that released volatile organic compounds. The study shows  that acetone was mineralized to methane and carbondioxide in landfill refuse.
Mineralization was 21.6 to 40.4 % in all reactors. In the reactors added 14C-acetone in water to simulate rainfall, 14C acetone drained with water. 3.3 - 4.8 % of the added 14C was found in the humin fraction. Nature of the binding is unknown.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
