Materials and methods

Model:

other: Level III fugacity model

Calculation programme:

Calculation programme: The fugacity was determined using EQC Level III model as found in EPIWIN v3.20. An experimentally determined value for the partition coefficient, melting point and VP was used. Degradation in air, water, soil and sediment was determined from the BIOWIN (ultimate) and the AOPWIN program. Direct photolysis was not considered in this model.
Other parameters used were the default values found in EPIWIN.

Emmission values entered: 100 kg/hr water and 1 kg/hr to soil. 0 kg/hr to air.

EPI Suite contains a Level III fugacity model.  The methodology and programming approach were developed by Dr. Donald Mackay and co-workers (Mackay et al., 1996a, 1996b; Mackay 1991; see Reference section).  The model in EPI Suite is a direct adaptation of this methodology.  While it uses the same equations as Mackay’s EQC model, it was adapted specifically for use in EPI Suite.  It uses exactly the same default values as the EQC mode

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Based on the Log Kow (-0.09), water solubility (6500 mg/L) and Log Koc 0.59 it is unlikely that this substance will significantly partition to the sediments and soils compartments. Further, given the vapour pressure of this substance (0.0053 Pa) and the low Henry's law constant for the substance, it is unlikely that this substance will volatilize and be present in the atmosphere or would not be expected to volatilize readily from water into air. This substance will most likely distribute and reside in the water compartment. This is supported by QSAR fugacity modeling (Level III Mackay modeling) indicating 98.2% in water compartment.
