In the Mackay fugacity model level I is treated as a type 1 chemical, i.e. the chemical partitions into all environmental media. Estimation is carried at an environmental temperature of 25 °C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The distribution of thymol in a "unit world" was calculated according to the Mackay fugacity model level I based on the physico-chemical properties. The main target compartment for thymol is water with 67.8 %, followed by soil and sediment with 10.7 and 10.8 % respectively and air with 10.6 % (Currenta, 2010).
