Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The concentrations in water and sediment are effectively independent of the compartment into which the emissions occur. Concentrations in air and soil depend on what compartment emissions occured to and are quite variable. Only emissions to air contribute to atmospheric concentrations whilst deposition in soil comes approximately 50/50 from direct emissions to soil and indirectly from emissions to air.
Executive summary:

Mackay fugacity modelling (level 3) indicates that, taking into account degradation and using inflow parameters which are consistent with the known production tonnage of this substance in, fugacity coefficient indicates that environmental concentrations in water are predicted to be 1.41e-006 (atm), in air (atm) 2.6e-032 and soil 3.36e-006 (atm) and sediment to be  1.28e-006 (atm).

These are negligible low levels. This can be considered a worse case prediction as it assumes all product is emitted with no emission control systems used.
