- Executive summary:
The adsorption of the test item to organic matter was determined in a GLP-compliant study using HPLC comparison according to the EU C.19 (2008) and OECD TG 121 (2001) protocols. The experiment is deemed valid, conclusive and thus suitable for assessment without restrictions.
The column temperature was 30 °C. Atrazine, Isoproturon, Triadimenol, Linuron, Naphthalene, Fenthion, α-Endosulfan, Phenanthrene, Diclofop-methyl and DDT were used as standard references. The correlation of fit of the established calibration curve (R²) was 0.9615 demonstrating the reliability of the method in the calibration range from Log Koc 1.25 to 5.63. The column temperature was 30 °C.
The test item eluted in one distinctive peak out of the calibration range, after ca. 30 min, while the last standard DDT (Log Koc 5.63) was detected after about 15 min. Accordingly the adsorption of the submission item can be described by Koc >> 427,000 and Log Koc >> 5.63 at 30 °C.

Description of key information
Strong adsorption to organic matter, Koc >> 426,000 and Log Koc >> 5.63 at 30 °C (OECD 121)
Strong adsorption to organic matter has been demonstrated, Koc >> 426,000 and Log Koc >> 5.63 at 30 °C. However, water insolubility and ready biodegradation in combination with the strong adsorption mean no relevant concentrations in any compartment can be expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Koc at 20 °C:
- 426 580

The adsorption to organic matter was determined in a GLP-compliant study (Fox & White 2012, Harlan Report no. 41103279) using HPLC comparison according to the EU C.19 (2008) and OECD TG 121 (2001) protocols. The experiment is deemed valid, conclusive and thus suitable for assessment without restrictions.
The submission item eluted in one distinctive peak out of the calibration range, after ca. 30 min, while the last standard DDT (Log Koc 5.63) was detected after about 15 min. Accordingly the adsorption of the submission item can be described by Koc >> 427,000 and Log Koc >> 5.63 at 30 °C.
According to classification schemes, the Koc value suggests that the submission item is expected to fall into the “immobile” mobility class (Koc > 5000) according to McCall et al (1981) and Swann et al (1983) or to be “non-mobile” (Koc > 4000) according to Hollis (1991).
Further testing as demanded by the Corrigendum to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European parliament and of the council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), Annex IX, 9.3.3., p L 136/115, published 2007-05-29 in the Official Journal of the European Union can be waived in accordance with column 2 restrictions as:
“The study need not be conducted if:
- the substance and its degradation products decompose rapidly.”
Given the ready biodegradability (Clarke 2011, Harlan Report no. 41103271) of the submission item rapid decomposition is soils seems likely. Therefore further testing can be waived.
