Title:
Level III Fugacity model (EPIWEB v 4.11)

Materials and methods

Model:
calculation according to Mackay, Level III
Calculation programme:
The fugacity for the uncharged molecule was determined using EQC Level III model as found in EPIWIN v3.20. Degradation in air, water, soil and sediment was determined from the BIOWIN (ultimate) and the AOPWIN program. An experimentally determined octanol-water partition coefficient was ententered. All other physical parameters used were the default values found in EPIWIN. Equal emission to air, water and soil was assumed.

Executive summary:

According to a calculation which is based on Mackay level III, monomethylamine will distribute into air, water, soil, and sediment to different percentages; 1.57 %, 41 % 57.3 %, and 0.009 %, respectively.
