Fig. 5From: Can a chemical be both readily biodegradable AND very persistent (vP)? Weight-of-evidence determination demonstrates that phenanthrene is not persistent in the environmentBox and whisker plots of phenanthrene biodegradation half-life data for the sediment compartment. Data categorised according to slurry systems (n = 26), stagnant systems (n = 6) and the OECD 308 test (n = 2). P/vP thresholds for each compartment are shown with the red dotted lineBack to article page
