Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
QSAR prediction from a well-known and acknowledged tool. See below under ''attached background material section' for methodology and QPRF.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: REACH guidance on QSARs: Chapter R.6. QSARs and grouping of chemicals
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The Bioconcentration factor (BCF) value was calculated for the test substance using BCFBAF v3.02 program of EPI Suite v 4.11. Since the test substance is an UVCB, the BCF values were estimated for individual constituents using SMILES codes as the input parameter.

Conclusions:
The Koc of the test substance was estimated using KOCWIN v 2.01 program (EPISuite v 4.11), to be 1519.10 L/kg (log Koc= 3.18) with MCI method and 1161.10 L/kg (log koc= 3.06) with Log Kow method.
Executive summary:

The soil adsorption and desorption potential (Koc) of the test substance, C12-18 and C18-unsatd. MEA, was estimated using the Molecular Connectivity Index (MCI) and Log Kow methods of the KOCWIN v 2.01 program (EPISuite v 4.11). Since the test substance is an UVCB, the Koc values were estimated for individual constituents using SMILES codes as the input parameter. The predicted Koc values for all the constituents were estimated to range from 21.37 to 8636 (MCI) and 15.71 to 8165 (Log Kow) L/kg, respectively. The corresponding log Koc values ranged from 1.32 to 3.93 (MCI) and 1.19 to 3.91 (Log Kow) (US EPA, 2019). Given that the constituents are structurally very similar and vary only in the carbon chain length, a weighted average value, which considers the percentage of each constituent in the substance, was calculated to dampen errors in predictions. The weighted average Koc values were calculated as 1519.10 L/kg (log Koc = 3.18) and 1161.10 L/kg (log Koc= 3.06), using the MCI and log Kow methods, respectively. Based on the above information, the test substance is expected to have a moderate adsorption potential to soil and sediment, leading to slow migration to ground water (US EPA, 2012). Overall, the KOC predictions for the test substance using the KOCWIN model of EPI Suite TM can be considered to be reliable with moderate confidence since not all constituents meet the MW and structural fragment molecular descriptor domain criteria as defined in KOCWIN v 2.01 user guide of EPI Suite TM.

The weighted average MCI estimate (Koc = 1519.10 L/kg; log Koc = 3.18) was retained for risk assessment purposes as this method is more appropriate for surface active substances.

Supporting testing according to OECD Guideline 106 is currently ongoing with a monoconstituent substance, C12 MEA, to confirm the values established using modelling.
