Description of key information
In the key study of König 2010 four different computational methods (QSPR) for deriving the Koc for BMDBM were applied. The methods mostly were based on using the experimentally measured log Kow value. Based on the resulting geometric mean of log Koc = 4.65 (Koc = 44242 L/kg) the substance is considered as "immobile" in sediments and soil.

Additional information
Discussion of results
As no single computational model could be identified which would fit completely to this task, the Koc of BMDBM eventually was being calculated from the geometric mean of the data generated by four individual QSPR approaches. The four different ways of QSPR computations mostly were based on the experimentally derived log Kow of BMDBM of 6.1.

The resulting geometric mean of log Koc = 4.65 (Koc = 44242 L/kg) is considered as valid as it is being supported by several different QSPR approaches. Therefore, the substance is considered as "immobile" in sediments and soil.
Waiving of further adsoprtion/desorption studies
As additional adsorption/desorption testing cannot be expected to reveal new results with any added value concerning the risk assessment of this substance, thus, additional Annex IX studies on adsorption/desorption shall be waived (for details see "waiving on further studies on adsorption/desorption".
