Endpoint:
adsorption / desorption: screening
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance has a low octanol water partition coefficient and the adsorption potential of this substance is related to this parameter

Computational methods:
Adsorption coefficient per organic carbon (Koc):

1) Using the equation provided in the ECB Technical Guidance Document of 2000 for triazines: logKoc = 0.30 logKow + 1.5 and logKow = -1.22.
Result: logKoc = 1.13.

2) Using the programme KOCWIN v2.00:
Result based on molecular connectivity index: logKoc = 1.51.
(Result based on a calculated logKow of -1.37: logKoc = 0.0002.)
Type:
log Koc
Value:
1.13

Adsorption coefficient per organic carbon (Koc):

1) Using the equation provided in the ECB Technical Guidance Document of 2000 for triazines:

logKoc = 0.30 logKow + 1.5 and logKow = -1.22: -> logKoc = 1.13.

2) Using the programme KOCWIN v2.00:

Based on molecular connectivity index: logKoc = 1.51.

(Based on a calculated logKow of -1.37: logKoc = 0.0002.)

Conclusions:
Melamine has an estimated low ability to adsorb to soil.

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Experimental data on the transport of diphosphoric acid, compound with 1,3,5-triamine (1:2) are not available. Based on the experimentally determined low log Pow of the substance (log Pow -1.24 at 20 °C, OECD 107) a low adsorption potential of the substance is expected.
