Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the ready biodegradability of 4-( 4-Nitrophenyl)-3-morpholinon. The study was conducted in accordance with the Council Directive 92/69/EEC Method C.4-D "Manometric Respirometry Test", This test method is in all essential parts identical wirh OECD Guideline 301 F. A solution of 4-(4-Nitrophenyl)-3-morpholinon in a mineral medium was inoculated and incubated for 28 d under aerobic conditions. During this period, degradation was followed by BOD determinations. 4-(4-Nitrophenyl)-3-morpholinon showed: 0.4 % degradation after 7 days, 0.9 % degradation after 14 days, 1.3 % degradation after 21 days and 0.0 % degradation after 28 days. Therefore, 4-(4-Nitrophenyl)-3-morpholinon is considered to be "Not Readily Biodegradable". The reference compound showed 86.3 % degradation after 14 days.
