Executive summary:

The partition coefficient 1-octanol/water (log Kow) of laevo alpha terpineol was determined according to EEC method A.8 and OECD Guideline107, using the Shake Flask Method. The content of the substance in l-octanol and water was determined by a validated GC analytical method. The partition coefficient 1-octanol/water (log Kow) at 20.0°C of the test item was found to be 2.25 ± 0.03 (pH 6.49 - 6.86).
