Description of key information
Koc of d-limonene has been estimated by 3
QSAR methods.
1. with KOCWIN from EPISUITE 4.0 using CAS number as input and the
Molecular Connectivity Method (MCI): Koc = 1120 L/kg
2. with KOCWIN from EPISUITE 4.0 using an experimental log Kow of 4.38
and CAS number 5989 -27 -5 as input: Koc = 6324 L/kg
3. with equation of Sabljic and Güsten (1995) for non hydrophobic
susbtances as reported in TGD (2003) using a log Kow of 4.38: Koc = 1984
L/kg
The geometric mean of the 3 Koc predicted values is considered for chemical safety assessment = 2413 L/kg.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Koc at 20 °C:
- 2 413
Additional information
ECHA Guidance (chapter R.7.a, paragraph R.7.1.15) recommends calculating the Koc endpoint value as the geometric mean of results obtained by means of QSARs.
This geometric mean value is considered as the endpoint defining the substance for adsorption and is used as input parameter for Environmental Risk Assessment.
[LogKoc: 3.383]
