Additional information

The results of the biodegradation screening study conducted with docosanoic acid, ester with 1,2,3-propanetriol (CAS No. 77538-19-3) show that this substance can be considered as readily biodegradable (78% biodegradation in 28 days). Based on this information, docosanoic acid, ester with 1,2,3-propanetriol is expected to be rapidly biodegraded by microorganisms in both aquatic and terrestrial environments and therefore, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex IX, Column 2, 9.2.1.2, 9.2.1.3 and 9.2.1.4, further simulation testing on biodegradation of the substance in water, sediment and soil is not required.
