Conclusions:
Estimated half life of 1,1-diethoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene in water was 37.5 days (900 h) and in sediment estimated to be 337.5 days (8100 h).
Executive summary:

Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound

1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 - dimethylocta-2,6 -diene (CAS No. 7492 -66 -2). If released in to the environment, 15.9% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene in water is estimated to be 37.5 days (900 hrs). The half-life (37.5 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is not persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to low whereas the half-life period of 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene in sediment is estimated to be 337.5 days (8100 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 1% (i.e, reported as 0.572%), indicates that 1,1 -diethoxy-3,7 -dimethylocta-2,6 -diene is not persistent

in sediment.
