Adsorption was well correlated with the TOC of soil samples.
Koc = 344 L/kg
log Koc = 2.54 - Executive summary:
Soil adsorption of 2-chlorotoluene was reliably assessed in a well-documented scientific study (peer reviewed publication; Banerjee et al., 1985) using 14C-radiolabelled test item. The method followed (batch equilibrium) was similar / equivalent to OECD TG 106.
20 subsurface soil samples were collected in a river alluvial plain, each core of 50 cm length, covering semi-continuously a depth of 0 to 675 cm.
Four to five replicates were prepared at each of five test item concentrations (prepared from 0.01M CaCl2 solution) at a soil:solution ratio of 1:25 (later modified to 2:25) without headspace. Tubes were mixed by tumbling for 23 hours at 360 inversions/hr. Adsorption was quantified both, via the indirect method (solution phase) and the direct method, while the latter was found pronouncedly more reliable (and used for reporting) considering the rather low adsorption at rather low soil:solution ratio. For the direct method the solids phase was extracted two times directly with scintillation cocktail and counted. This extraction procedure was verified to be quantitative. The data obtained (direct method) from equilibrium batch sorption isotherms were fit to a linear distribution equation to derive the distribution coefficient K (L/kg) and subsequently (based on the determined TOC content of soil core samples) the Koc.
Overall, Koc values could be determined for 19 soil samples of different depth with values ranging from 170 to 880 L/kg at TOC concentrations ranging from 0.08% to 0.89%. The distribution coefficient K was well correlated with the TOC of soil samples (correlation coefficient 0.82).
Conclusion:
The adsorption of 2-chlorotoluen to soil was determined as the geometric mean Koc over 19 soil samples of differential depth (0-675 cm) at a geometric mean TOC concentration of 0.2 %:
Koc = 344 L/kg
log Koc = 2.54
Reference
Due to the relatively low adsorption of the test item together with the low soil to solution ratio, adsorption results determined via the indirect method from the solution phase proved to be pronouncedly less reliable compared to results based on the direct method (extraction of solid phase). While the following results table gives results according to both methods, in line with the authors´conclusions only the values determined via the direct method will be used for hazard and risk assessment of 2-chlorotoluene.
Isotherm parameters determined fro 2-chlorotoluene - K and Koc values are given in L/kg:
