Contact time : 3 day(s)<br />

Degradation : 26 - 100 (±) % after 3 day(s)<br />

Result :<br />

Deg. product :<br />

Method : other: cultivation method<br />

Year : 1987<br />

GLP : no data<br />

Test substance : other TS: m-cresol, no purity reported in abstract<br />

Result : biodegradation in river water = 100 %<br />

biodegradation in sea water = 26 %<br />

The authors assume the compound to be moderately to easily<br />

Deg. product :<br />

Method : other: measured<br />

Year : 1990<br />

GLP : no data<br />

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

Method : anoxic aquifer slurries held under sulfate- and<br />

nitrate-reducing conditions<br />

Result : m-cresol was largely degraded in less than 6 d<br />

degradation dependant on sulfate, inhibited by 1.0 mM<br />

molybdate, not influenced by bromoethanesulfonic acid<br />
