Results of the test item

The test item is a reaction mixture, therefore, different component groups were expected in the MS chromatograms. The free polyglycerol fraction eluted without retention.

The highest reference compound (4,4’-DDT) eluted at 29 min. The monoester fractions were not detected in the 90 min time window. The retention of the di- and triester fractions is higher than the monoesters, so the log POW values for these fractions are higher than 6.5.

 

Calculation

To determine the test item log k the following calculations were applied:

The capacity factors (k) of the reference substances were calculated

k = (tR t0) / t0

Where:

tR is the retention time of the test substance [min]

t0 is the retention time of the thiourea (dead-time) [min]

The log POW can be determined:

log POW = a + b x log k

where a and b are linear regression coefficients determined from the retention data of the reference materials.

Description of key information

Weight of Evidence (WoE)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Weight of Evidence (WoE) approach

Experimental study (RL 3):

Log POW > 6.5 (OECD 117 (Partition coefficient (n-octanol / water), HPLC Method))

+ QSAR (RL 2):

(KOWWIN v1.68) of three representatives contained in substance (please see constituents 1,2 and 4 as described in section 1.2)

Constituent 1

Log Pow (estimated): 5.62

Constituent 2

Log Pow (estimated): 4.3

Part of constituent 3

Log Pow (estimated): 14.01

Only the first representative constituent fits completely in the applicability domain of the model. The prediction is valid and can be used for classification and risk assessment.

As the two other representative constituents do not fit completely in the applicability domain of the model, the Log Pow predictions of those compounds is not valid and can not be used for classification and risk assessment.

But as the main differences compared to the first compound are a higher molecular weight and a higher number of non-polar, aliphatic CH2 -groups, presumably leading to a higher Log Pow, a range of the complete substance can be estimated based on the valid prediction of the first compound:

Log Pow (estimated) > 5.62
