Abstract SIDS INITIAL ASSESSMENT: There is need for further work. SHORT SUMMARY OF THE REASONS WHICH SUPPORT THE RECOMMENDATION: The substance is firmly bound to sediments, and therefore anaerobic biodegradation can be an important factor. A 21-day test in daphnids indicated that the substance may be toxic at a range of between 1 and 3mg/l. FURTHER WORK RECOMMENDED: Determination of anaerobic biodegradability. Depending on the results of this test, it may be considered whether or not long-term fish toxicity testing is required.
