Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
The estimated Koc value reported for phenylacetonitrile is 170 based on the log Kow of 1.56 and a regression-derived equation.
Executive summary:

According to the peer reviewed database phenylacetonitrile has an estimated Koc value of 170 based on a log Kow of 1.56 and a regression-derived equation. This result indicates that phenylacetonitrile may absorb to suspended soil and sediment in the water.
