Estimation from the EQC fugacity level III model is provided using three separate emission scenarios: 1) equal emissions with continuous 1000 kg/hr releases to each compartment (air, water and soil), 2) 1000 kg/hr release to air compartment only and, 3) 1000 kg/hr release to water compartment only. These three scenarios would help to estimate in which environmental compartments the substance partitions when the substance is rejected to each of the compartments independently.

1) Equal emissions with continuous 1000 kg/hr releases to each compartment (air, water and soil):

             Mass Amount       Half-Life       Emissions
             (percent)              (hr)             (kg/hr)
Air          5           7.4              1000      
Water       39.1                   208             1000      
Soil          55.6           416     1000      
Sedimen     0.305             1.87e+003             0         
Persistence Time: 129 hr
          
2) 1000 kg/hr release to air compartment only:

Air 1000 kg/hr
             Mass Amount    Half-Life                  Emissions
                 (percent)           (hr)          (kg/hr)
Air                     99.1           7.48                       1000      
Water                   0.464          208                    0         
Soil       0.398            416             0         
Sediment              0.00361         1.87e+003    0         
Persistence Time: 9.83 hr

3) 1000 kg/hr release to water compartment only:

Water 1000 kg/hr
               Mass Amount   Half-Life                 Emissions
                    (percent)         (hr)         (kg/hr)
Air        2.22          7.48                   0         
Water                   97           208                     1000      
Soil       0.756       1.87e+003    0         
Sediment              64.3           8.1e+003    0         
Persistence Time: 675 hr

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

MacKay Level III modeling suggested that the half-life of Vinyl 2-ethylhexanoate in water was approximately 208 hours. Further MacKay modeling found that if released equally to the environmental compartments, approximately 55.6% of Vinyl 2-ethylhexanoate will transition to soil, 39% to water and 5% to air. If released solely to air, 99.1% of Vinyl 2-ethylhexanoate will remain in the atmosphere. When released to the water compartment, 97% of the Vinyl 2-ethylhexanoate will remain in the water.
