EVALUATION

- Calculation of capacity factors k': calculated from the dead time and retention times of reference standards as described in guideline.

- Calculation of retention times: Dead time for formamide (shown in Table 2) and retention times for standards and test material (shown in Table 3 and Table 4).

- Determination of the log Koc value: determined from a calibration plot of log k' vs. log Koc as described in guideline. Log k1 and log Koc are shown in Table 4. Calibration graph is attached in Figure 1.
