Results and discussion

Transformation products:

yes

Any other information on results incl. tables

- quantitative degradation of TS was observed only in the presence of TiO2 (after OECD SIDS, 2001)

- 1,2-Chloronitrobenzene was not completely degraded after 3 hours but continued irradiation led to total degradation.
