MonoSol's products, once dissolved, are fully biodegradable. Effluent solutions are attacked by micro organisms in water treatment plants breaking the film down into carbon dioxide and water. Exposure tests with concentrations of 500mg of PVOH per litre of water on sensitive fish, had no ill effects.

This is obviously far in excess of any possible ground water concentrations. Other tests on Daphnia produced the same result.

In addition MonoSol, as part of an agricultural spray carrying the actives, has approval for food crop use in America. There is more test data available meeting specific market requirements from a number of different countries, including Germany.

MonoSol's products will burn freely in sheet form, converting to carbon dioxide and water. The films are non irritant with skin and non toxic.
