Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The tested substance can be considered to be in the model domain:
- methyl salicylate is within the range of molecular weight of the training set compounds
- have no more instances of a given fragment than the maximum for all training set compounds
- and have no functional group not represented in the training set. - Executive summary:
According to the AOPWIN v1.92 model, methyl salicylate is considered to have a half life of 0.967 day or 11.6 hours in atmosphere (within the following conditions: 12 -h day and 1.6E6 OH/ cm3). It is therefore not considered to be persistent in air based on this estimated rapid photodegradation potential.
