Abstract
Biodegradation was evaluated by spectrophotometry, gas chromatography and microbial growth. As the nitrite released during PNP degradation is also an environmental toxic agent it was removed by adding a denitrification step in an anoxic process. Detoxification was evaluated by using a Daphnia magna toxicity test. Toxicity was not detected after the combination of both, an aerobic biodegradation test and denitrification in an anoxic process.
