Fig. 2From: Can a chemical be both readily biodegradable AND very persistent (vP)? Weight-of-evidence determination demonstrates that phenanthrene is not persistent in the environmentSummary of phenanthrene ready biodegradability data. Ready biodegradability in OECD 301C tests by aJunker et al. [49] and bCITI [48]. Summary of 301F test results presented in this study also shown using direct addition (D.A), ultrasonication (U.S.), heating to 40 °C (40 °C), silica gel (S.G.) and silicon oil (S.O).
