Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Executive summary:

The closed bottle test (OECD 301D) was conducted by the BAYER AG.

Tested concentrations were in a range up to 80 mg/L, the test duration was 28 days, the inoculum consisted of non adapted, activated sludge.

The test showed after 28 days 0% degradation. Therefore, 3,4 -DCA is regarded as non readily biodegradable in surface waters.
