Abstract :
Current test guidelines for assessing ‘inherent’ (potential) biodegradability were designed for water-soluble, organic compounds of low volatility and are unsuitable for most oil products. It was against this background, that CONCAWE (the oil companiesʹ European organisation for environment, health and safety) formed a task force to develop a standard test protocol for assessing the ‘inherent’ biodegradability of oil products.
