Research Results for Ecotoxicity Testing of Biodegradable Polymers

10 Research Results for Ecotoxicity Testing of Biodegradable Polymers 

Very few research results have been published about this theme because such investigations are novel. Even the interpretation of available results has to be performed carefully since comparisons are not possible in many cases, or relationships and deductions are based on data generated for purposes other than the impact analysis of biodegradable polymers. 

The following paragraphs should be seen from that point of view. Data for investigations on aquatic (especially marine) environments and their sediments are not published. Nevertheless, I have tried to collect and summarise current knowledge.
