Bibliography

Defines a test method for evaluating the biodegradability of organic test compounds by aerobic microorganisms by means of a shake-flask batch test. Applicable to natural surface water, free from coarse particles to simulate a pelagic environment ("pelagic test") or to surface water with suspended sediments added to obtain a level of 0,1 g/l to 1 g/l dry mass to simulate a water body with suspended sediment ("suspended sediment test").
