Table 2 Number of readily biodegradable substances with simulation test data per compartment. The right-hand side of the table shows how many of those data points met all of the data quality criteria defined and were included in the final data set. A similar assessment of the non-readily biodegradable substances is available in Additional file 1: Table S2
Readily biodegradable substances | Preliminary data set | Final data set (data meeting all quality criteria) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Simulation study compartment | Water | Soil | Sediment | Water | Soil | Sediment |
No. of simulation studies | 17 | 64 | 17 | 2 | 5 | 4 |
No. of substances meeting P criteria before temperature correction (in percent) | 3 (18%) | 2 (3%) | 4 (24%) | 0 | 0 | 0 |
No. of substances meeting P criteria after temperature correction (in percent) | 4 (24%) | 8 (13%) | 7 (41%) | 0 | 0 | 0 |
