Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Summary according the adsorption potential as given in EU-RAR draft, 14. May 2008

Since data for the test substance hydroxylamine-O-sulphonic acid (CAS 2950-43-8) are not available, information on the surrogate substance bis(hydroxylammonium) sulfate (CAS 10039-54-0) are used in a reliable read-across approach to evaluate the test substance.

Due to the specific properties of the surrogate substance it can be expected that the adsorption to organic matter is negligible.

Although the QSARs for adsorption estimation are not valid for inorganic substances, an approximate estimation was carried out using the QSAR for Nonhydrophobics from the TGD and the measured partition coefficient octanol/water. Using this correlation, a Koc of 0.141 l kg-1 was estimated indicating a very low adsorption to organic matter. Further partition coefficients (Kp) where derived from this Koc for various compartments by using the generic values given in the TGD for organic carbon contents of soils and sediments.

Table. Estimation of partition coefficients

 Compartments  Partition coefficients (l/kg)
 soil-water  Kp _soil = 2.812 x 10-3
 sediment-water  Kp _sed = x 10-3
 suspended matter-water  Kp _susp = 0.014
 activated sludge-water  Kp _sludge = 0.052
