Test substance input data:

- Molar mass: 322.58 g/mol
- Water solubility:131 mg/l at 23 deg. Celsius (user-entered)
- Vapour pressure: 8e-6 mmHg at 25 deg. Celsius (user-entered)
- log Pow: 1.31 at 23 deg. Celsius (user-entered)
- Melting point: Estimates of MPBPWIN™
- Adsorption coefficient to soils and sediments: 427 000 L/kg (user-entered)
-Data temperature: Default of the model. Not modified by user.
-Half-life values and advection values were set as defaults:
1) Half-life values: Defaults set by BIOWIN (ultimate), 37.5 days and default set by AOPwin estimates, 0.518 hours.
2) Advection values: Defaults for air 100 hours, water 1000 hours and sediments 50000 hours.

Environmental properties:

A Level III model assumes steady-state but not equilibrium conditions. The Level III model in EPI Suite predictions for partitioning between air, soil, sediment and water was made using default parameters estimated by other programs within EPI Suite. Multiple fugacity level III calculations were applied using permutations of air, water and soil rates as either 0 to 1000 kg/h. The main results are given for simultaneous releases to air, water and soil by using the default values of the model (1000 kg/h, 1000 kg/h, 1000 kg/h).

Other distribution results:

Multiple fugacity level III calculations were applied using permutations of air, water and soil rates as either 0 to 1000 kg/h. The main results are given for simultaneous releases to air, water and soil by using the default values of the model (1000 kg/h, 1000 kg/h, 1000 kg/h). The full report is attached.

If substance is released to water the theoretical partitioning is as follows (emission value of 1000 kg/h to water, zero for other compartments):
Air 0.000006%
Water 29.3 %
Soil 0.0007 %
Sediment 70.7 %

If substance is released to soil the theoretical partitioning is as follows (emission value of 1000 kg/h to soil, zero for other compartments):
Air 0.0000002 %
Water 0.00338 %
Soil 100 %
Sediment 0.008 %

If substance is released to air the theoretical partitioning is as follows (emission value of 1000 kg/h to air, zero for other compartments):
Air 0.9 %
Water 2.17 %
Soil 92 %
Sediment 5.3 %

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Mackay Level III fugacity model in EPI Suite v.4.10 called LEV3EPI.EXE was used for theoretical partitioning calculations US EPA 2011. Multiple fugacity level III calculations were applied using permutations of air, water and soil rates as either 0 to 1000 kg/h. The Level III model in EPI Suite predicts partitioning between air, soil, sediment and water using a combination of fixed parameters. Measured values of octanol-water partition coefficient, boiling point, vapour pressure and water solubility and soil adsorption coefficient of Clearlink 1000 were used as an user-defined inputs for modelling.

The results of the Mackay Level III fugacity model indicates that if released simultaneously to air, soil and water, the substance will be distributed mainly to soil (60 %) and sediment (28 %). If released to water, the substance will be distributed mainly to sediment (70%). If released to soil, the substance will adsorb into soil and evaporation to air or mobility to water is negligible.
