Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria
Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
Estimated half life of test chemical in water was 15days (360 hrs.) and in sediment estimated to be 135 days (3240 hrs).
Executive summary:

Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2018) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound. The Test chemical If released in to the environment, 37.7 % of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of the chemical in water is estimated to be 15days (360 hrs.)The half-life (15 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is not persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is low whereas the half-life period of Test chemical in sediment is estimated to be 135 days (3240 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into sediment is less than 1 %( i.e., reported as 0.0725%) indicates that test chemical is not persistent in sediments.
