  1. Prolonged incubation (several months) may be necessary if a long lag time occurs before a significant degradation of the test substance can be measured.
  2. Incubation should take place in the dark (preferred) or in diffuse light at a controlled (± 2 °C) temperature, which may be the field temperature or a standard temperature of 20-25 °C. Field temperature may be either the actual temperature of the sample at the sampling time or an average field temperature at the sampling site.
