3.1.2 STABILITY IN WATER<br />

Remark : Based on the chemical structure of the compound hydrolysis<br />

is not expected under temperature and pH values occuring in<br />

the environment.<br />

Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

Soil temperature : °C<br />

Soil humidity :<br />

Soil classification :<br />

Year :<br />

Deg. product :<br />

Method :<br />

Year : 1990<br />

GLP : no<br />

Test substance : other TS: p-cresol, no purity reported<br />

Method : Bench-scale experiments with contaminated soil.<br />

Determination of passive evaporation and biodegradation of<br />

cresols<br />

Result : passive evaporation half-life 4.2 - 4.8 weeks<br />

biodegradation: after 4 days below detection limit<br />

Test condition : Passive evaporation: plastic petri plates (88x18 mm) placed<br />

on canopy-covered table. Temp. 10-17 degrees C, humidity 75%<br />

Shake-flask biodegradation test: 8-25 g soil mixed with 50<br />

ml buffer solution; shaken for 4 days<br />

Reliability : (3) invalid<br />

Methodological deficiencies<br />
