Biodegradation in water and sediments

Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound  4-Methylpiperazin-1-amine (CAS No: 6928-85-4).If released in to the environment, 25 % of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of test chemical 4-Methylpiperazin-1-amine (CAS No: 6928-85-4) in water is estimated to be 37.5 days ( 900hrs). The half-life (37.5 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is not persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to low whereas the half-life period of test chemical 4-Methylpiperazin-1-amine (CAS No: 6928-85-4) in sediment is estimated to be 337.625 days (8.1e+003 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 1% (i.e, reported as 0.0861 %), indicates that test chemical 4-Methylpiperazin-1-amine (CAS No: 6928-85-4) is not persistent in sediment.
