Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria
Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
In a sewage treatment plant, the reference substance is predicted to partition to Primary sludge (37.88%) and Waste Sludge(24.21%). Removal by biodegradtion is expected to be minimal (0.57%). The total removal by the STP is expected to be 62.65% with the final water effluent containing 37.25%. Biodegradation in water or water/sediment is not expected.
Executive summary:
