In the model MCPP-P acid is treated as a type 1 chemical, i.e. the chemical partitions into all environmental media. Estimation is carried at an environmental temperature of 25 °C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Released to the environment the main compartment for MCPP-P acid, the hydrolysis product of MCPP-P 2-EHE, is water with 99.98 %.
Executive summary:

MCPP-P 2-EHE hydrolyses rapidly in natural water. Therefore, the hydrolysis product MCPP-P acid was used for further risk assessment of MCPP-P 2 -EHE in the environment (distribution modelling).

 

The distribution of MCPP-P acid in a "unit world" was calculated according to the Mackay fugacity model level I based on the physico-chemical properties. The main target compartment for MCPP-P acid is water with 99.98 %, followed by soil and sediment with 0.008 % and air with 0.002 %, respectively.
