Principles of method if other than guideline:
The adsorption potential is estimated based on the n-octanol-water partition coefficient for the neutral substance and the pKa, using the model by Franco and Trapp (2008) for ionisable organic chemicals. Full details on the model (including references), applicability domain issues, results and interpretation are provided in the attached QMRF/QPRF.

Remarks on result:
other: Adsorption does not correlate with the organic carbon (OC) fraction of the medium (QMRF/QPRF).

Full details on results are provided in the attached QMRF/QPRF.
The predicted log Koc for soil is for all DMA category members within the range of 4.38 to 4.40. Taking the accuracy of prediction into account, a rounded value of log Koc = 4.4 is used for all category members.
The partition coefficient solids water (Kp; equivalent to Kd, distribution coefficient for adsorption) derived from (unrounded) predicted log Koc values based on the EU default OC fraction in soil solids (0.02) is within the range of 477 to 506 L/kg. Taking the accuracy of prediction into account, a rounded value of Kp (Kd) = 500 is used for all category members.
As justified in detail in the attached QMRF/QPRF, this Kp (Kd) is appropriate to account for the solids adsorption of DMAs in all environmental media, i.e. soil, suspended matter, sediment, and the STP (raw sewage sludge, primary sludge, secondary sludge, effluent sewage sludge). The reason is that adsorption does not correlate with the organic carbon (OC) fraction of the medium.
All DMA category members are within the applicability domain of the model.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Predicted organic carbon normalized adsorption coefficient for soil:
log Koc = 4.4

Predicted partition coefficient solids water (Kp; equivalent to Kd, distribution coefficient for adsorption) for different environmental media:
Kp (Kd) = 500
Executive summary:

The organic carbon normalized adsorption coefficient for soil (Koc) is estimated using the model by Franco and Trapp (2008) for ionisable organic chemicals based on the n-octanol-water partition coefficient for the neutral substance and the pKa.
