Additional information

The partition coefficient of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 117, EU Method A.8 and EPA OPPTS 830.7570 under GLP conditions using the HPLC method. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the principles for assessing data quality set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

Solutions of reference materials and the test material were analysed. The capacity factor (k') of each compound was calculated from its retention time. The log k’ values of the reference materials were plotted against the known log Pow values. A linear regression program was used to calculate the calibration curve. Linear regression analysis was performed using the least squares method. The correlation coefficient (r) was calculated. The log Pow value for the test material was calculated by substituting its mean log k’ in the calibration curve. The value of log Pow obtained from duplicate measurements was within ± 0.1 log units.

Several test material peaks were observed in the chromatogram of the test solution, which all had a retention time longer than the reference material benzo[ghi]perylene.

Under the conditions of this study, the Pow of the test material at pH 7 was >1.6 x 107, which corresponds with a log Pow of > 7.2.
