environment on the long-term
12.2 - Persistence and degradability
The ammonium nitrate is a substance existing in an ionogène shape and also in the natural life cycles (for example
nitrogen) and can easily transform in other elements of these life cycles. Nevertheless, see § 12.5 This fuel/gazole is
biodegradable
12.3 - Potential of bioaccumulation
The potential bioaccumulation of the mixture is very low because those of the raw material is also very low
