Description of key information
According to “ANNEX IX- STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF 100 TONNES OR MORE , an adsorption study need not be conducted if:
— based on the physicochemical properties the substance can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption (e.g. the substance has a low octanol water partition coefficient), or
— the substance and its degradation products decompose rapidly.
Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient of magnesium is low (log Kow = -0.57)
If released into water, magnesium is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the Koc. The Koc of magnesium can be estimated to be 13.22 . This estimated Koc value suggests that Magnesium is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
The estimated Soil Adsorption Coefficient was 13.22 L/kg measured by calculation from EPI SuiteTM v4.1 Program. This is Exposure Assessment Tools and Models made from EPA (Environmental Protection Agency
These results suggest that magnesium has high soil mobility and does not have a high potential for adsorption to soil
