TBBPA's transport and distribution between environmental compartments was modeled using EPI v3.20, and based on the chemical's structure. Over 99% of TBBPA released to the environment is predicted to partition to soil (53%) and sediment (46%). Negligible amounts are predicted to partion to water (0.6%) and air (0.00008%) (Level III Fugacity Model; Emissions of 1000 kg/hr to each of air, water and soil). In soil and sediment, TBBPA is expected to bind extensively to organic carbon (estimated Koc soil = 6.5 x 10E6). Movement into groundwater is not expected based on this Koc and measured water solubility. TBBPA is expected to partition from water to organic carbon (Koc = 5.6 x 10E5). TBBPA is not expected to volatilize from water (Volatilization half-life in rivers = 6.7 x 10E5, in lakes = 7.3 x 10E6). In air, TBBPA is expected to be be bound to particulates; the fraction sorbed to particulates is estimated to be 1 at 25 degrees C (AEROWIN v1.00). Its movement in the atmosphere will be goverened by the particles to which it is bound. Sewage treatment plants are predicted to remove TBBPA from the influent to a high degree (94%), but biodegradation in the treatment plant is not expected. Removal in the treatment plant will be by partitioning to sludge. Leaching from polymers is not expected, in part because its primary use is as a reactive flame retardant in printed circuit boards but also due to its physical/chemical properties.
Distribution modelling results are summarised in the following table. EPI v3.20 was used because later versions of this software included incorrect values in its reference library for certain brominated flame retardants.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In the environment, TBBPA is expected to partition mainly to sediment and soil, where it will be bound to particulate matter. Partioning to air and water will be negligble, and that present in these matrixes will also be bound to particulate matter. TBBPA's movement in the atmosphere will be associated with that of the particulates to which it is bound.
- Executive summary:
In the environment, TBBPA is expected to partition mainly to sediment and soil, where it will be bound to particulate matter. Partioning to air and water will be negligble, and that present in these matrixes will also be bound to particulate matter. TBBPA's movement in the atmosphere will be associated with that of the particulates to which it is bound.
