Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable

Additional information

Two biodegradation studies are available. In the study conducted by Paulus (2008), the ready biodegradability of Polysolvan O was tested. The study conducted by Wellens (1977) and described by Voelskow (2007) assessed the inherent biodegradability of the substance. As the ready biodegradability id the relevant data endpoint for the dossier, the study of Paulus (2008) was selected as key study.
