Reference

Endpoint:

adsorption / desorption

Remarks:

adsorption

Type of information:

(Q)SAR

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification

Justification for type of information:

1. SOFTWARE:
The EPI (Estimation Programs Interface) Suite™ is a Windows®-based suite of physical/chemical property and environmental fate estimation programs developed by EPA’s and Syracuse Research Corp. (SRC).
2. MODEL (incl. version number)
Version 4.11
3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL:
[Na]OS(=O)(=O)c1cc(ccc1C(C)CCCCCCCCCC)C(C)CCCCCCCCCC

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
Individual estimation programs and/or their underlying predictive methods and equations have been described in numerous journal articles in peer-reviewed technical journals. In addition, EPI Suite™ has undergone detailed review by a panel of EPA’s independent Science Advisory Board (SAB), and its September 2007 report can be downloaded at https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/02ad90b136fc21ef85256eba00436459/CCF982BA9F9CFCFA8525735200739805/$File/sab-07-011.pdf

5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
The intended application domain is organic chemicals. There are specific uses of EPI Suite™ that are not entirely appropriate for supporting; at present EPI Suite does not provide adequate coverage of nanoparticles, inorganic compounds, organo-metallic and some polymeric chemicals (as well as other 35 classes of chemicals). Application of EPI Suite™ to chemicals outside the domain of the training set is likely to result in unreliable estimates.
6. ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT
The physico-chemical property derived from EPI Suite™ Version 4.11 is scientifically reliable as it falls into its applicability organic substance domain. The derived value will not be used for hazard classification purposes however, it will allow us to predict fate and transport properties.

Computational methods:

The soil adsorption can be calculated with the computer program EPIWIN v4.11/KOCWIN v2.0. This tool estimates the organic carbon-normalized adsorption coefficient for soil (and also for sediment), which is designated as Koc. Two different models are used for this estimation: the Sabljic molecular connectivity (MCI) method as well as with the traditional method which is based on logPow.

Conclusions:

The study report describes a scientifically accepted calculation method to determine the soil adsorption coefficient using the US-EPA software KOCWIN EPIWIN v4.11/KOCWIN v2.0. No GLP criteria are applicable for the usage of this tool and the QSAR estimation is easily repeatable.

Executive summary:

The soil adsorption coefficient of benzene sulfonic acid, di-C10-14-alkyl derivs., sodium salts was determined by the computer program KOCWIN v2.00 (EPIWIN software v4.11) by US-EPA (ATL, 2017). This tool estimates the organic carbon-normalized adsorption coefficient for soil (and also for sediment), which is designated as Koc. Two different models are used for this estimation: the Sabljic molecular connectivity (MCI) method as well as with the traditional method which is based on logPow. The traditional method gives a logKoc ranging from 5.793 and the MCI method reveals a comparable value ranging of 7.101 as result.

The Koc value used for risk assessment is the MCI method as it is believed the best estimate.
