Description of key information

The adsorption potential of Cyclobutanate was determined in a study according to OECD TG 121(HPLC). Under the conditions of the test, the determined log Koc value was 3.14 (equivalent Koc = 1510 L/kg). Based on this value the substance indicates that it will have moderate potential to adsorb to sediment/soil.


The Henry's Law Coefficient was estimated by EUSES, based on the measured vapour pressure (11.2 Pa at 25°C) and water solubility 11.5 mg/l at 20°C). For Cyclobutanate this results in: Henry coefficient at 25°C is 10.9 and 12°C it is 5.22 Pa-m3/mol.


Based on Level III distribution modelling using EPISUITE (assuming equal and continuous releases to air, water and soil) using SMILES formula CCCC(=O)OC3CC1CC3C2CC=CC12 (The Cas no of Cyclobutanate presents a mistake in the chemical structure) and the measured physico-chemical parameters, water solubility and log Kow as input, it is estimated that the majority of the substance released to the environment will partition mainly into soil (80%) and water (18.5%) with small amounts to sediment and air (both <1%).


The SimpleTreat model, which is incorporated in EUSES, simulates the distribution of the substance in a Sewage Treatment Plant. The results of this show that the substance will not be degraded and that 77.2% of the substance will partition to water, 15.4% to sewage sludge and 7.35% to air.
