Executive summary:

Aim and methods

The biodegradability of "STI571 F5" was analysed by the determination of carbon dioxide evolution at frequent intervals over a 28 d period. The method used was that described in Part C.4-C of the EC Commission Directive 92/69/EEC and in the OECD Guideline 301B.

 

Results

•The reference substance sodium benzoate was degraded by 63.4% within 10 days.

•Degradation in the toxicity control, which contained sodium benzoate and the test substance, was not indicative of an significant inhibition of the

microbial activity by the test substance.

•The carbon dioxide evolution from "STI571 F5" reached a maximum of 11.9% after 28  days of incubation.
