Additional information

Data on the ready biodegradability of Fatty acids, C18 unsaturated, ethyl & methyl esters (EC 941-981-3) are not available. The assessment of ready biodegradation is based on read across to methyl oleate (CAS 112-62-9) and Fatty acids, safflower-oil, ethyl esters (CAS 91051-53-5). Both substances are main components of the target substance. On the basis of the available read across data Fatty acids, C18 unsaturated, ethyl & methyl esters is considered readily biodegradable. Based on the ready biodegradability in water rapid degradation of the substance in aquatic and terrestrial environments is expected.
