Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:
yes

Test solutions

Vehicle:
no
Details on test solutions:
Mixed into the test water as homogeneously as possible by ultrasonic treatment for 15 minutes and by intense stirring for 96 h at room temperature in the dark to dissolve a maximum concentration of the test item in the dispersion.
