Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The half-life of 4-fluoroaniline in an estuarine sediment slurry in anaerobic conditions is 211 days.
The first-order reaction rate constant is k=0.0033 day-1 - Executive summary:
The half-life (50% degradation) of 4-fluoroaniline in an estuarine sediment slurry in anaerobic conditions is 211 days. The first-order reaction rate constant is k=0.0033 day-1. This indicates that this substance is slowly biodegradable in sediment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
