Additional information

The available studies show that DCBS is not readily biodegradable. It was suggested that the lack of biodegradation is due to the high concentrations used in those tests (100 mg/L) which is high above the water solublity of 1 -5 µg/L. Therefore, inherent tests with lowered concentrations (10 mg/L, 67 µg/L) were performed. However due to shortcomings in the analysis of the parent and degradation products the mass balance at the start of the study was not confirmed.

A simulation study in soil finally showed DCBS to be rather stable in soil. During the study period of 120 days DCBS declined to 75 to 87% of its original concentration resulting in half-lives of 315 to 615 days at 12°C.
