Remarks on result:

Remarks:
(There was no analyte peak observed in the water phase of all three ratios of n-octanol/water, due to its negligible (very low) solubility in water)
Details on results:
There was no analyte peak observed in the water phase of all three ratios of n-octanol/water, due to its negligible (very low) solubility in water. Hence, the Partition coefficient (Log Pow) of reaction mass (fenchene, laevo alpha pinene, laevo camphene, dextro camphene) could not be determined.
Conclusions:
The Partition coefficient (Log Pow) of the test substance could not be determined due to its negligible (very low) solubility in water.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient 1-octanol/water (log Kow) of the test item was investigated according to EEC method A.8 and OECD Guideline107, using the Shake Flask Method. The content of the substance in l-octanol and water was examined by a validated GC analytical method. There was no analyte peak observed in the water phase of all three ratios of n-octanol/water because the content in water phase was below the limit of detection of the analytical method used. Hence, the Partition coefficient (Log Pow) of reaction mass (fenchene, laevo alpha pinene, laevo camphene, dextro camphene) could not be determined.

Description of key information

Weight of evidence. Test item. Test method according to OECD 107 / EU Method A.8 (shake flask method), GLP study. The Partition coefficient (Log Pow) of the test substance could not be determined due to its negligible (very low) solubility in water.

Weight of evidence. D-camphene. Data from peer review publication. Test method similar to OECD Guideline 117. The partition coefficient of d-camphene was determined to be 4.22.

Weight of evidence. L-alpha pinene. Data from peer review publication. Test method similar to OECD Guideline 117. The partition coefficient of l-alpha pinene was determined to be 4.48.

Weight of evidence. EPI-Suite, KOWWIN v1.68. The calculated value of the partition coefficient 1-octanol/water (log Kow) for d-camphene, l-camphene and fenchone is 4.35 and for l-alpha pinene is 4.27.

Weight of Evidence. Test substance (reaction mass). The partition coefficient for the multi-constituent test substance has been determined to be 4.35. This value has been selected as a conservative estimate between the results obtained for d-camphene (experimental and calculated) and also taking into account that the same value is the calculated result for 3 components which represents more than 80% of the test substance.
