Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not inherently biodegradable
Conclusions:
Biodegradation of disodium 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate shows 50 % degradation in 60 days. Its half-life in water, 60 days, exceeds the EPA criteria of >= 2 months (and <= 6 months). Therefore, Benzenesulfonic acid, 2,2'-(1,2-ethenediyl)bis[5-nitro-, disodium salt is estimated to be persistent in the environment.
Executive summary:

Biodegradation estimations of disodium 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate shows 50 % degradation in 60 days. Its half-life in water, 60 days, exceeds the EPA criteria of >= 2 months (and <= 6 months). Therefore, this substance is estimated to be persistent in the environment.
