Conclusions:
Using the modified Grain method, the VP value of the test substance was predicted to be 5.15E-8 Pa (original estimate) or <1.34E-4 Pa (modified) at 25°C
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure (VP) value for the test substance, pBBA was predicted using the modified Grain method of the MPBPWIN v1.44 program (EPI SuiteTMv4.11).The test substance is a mono-constituent; therefore, the VP value was predicted for the main constituent using SMILES codes as the input parameter. Using the modified Grain method, the VP value of the test substance was predicted to be 5.15E-8Pa at 25°C (original estimate) (US EPA, 2019), indicating low volatility. Since the VP and BP values are below and above the respective cut-offs, beyond which the chances of estimation error increases, the predicted VP value is considered to be less accurate leading to a certain degree of uncertainty. However, the uncertainty in the accuracy of the VP prediction can be considered to be lowered to an extent (a) by substituting and representing the original predicted VP value generically as less than the cut-off (i.e., <1.34E-4 Pa), indicating low volatility and (b) given that, the prediction from another QSAR model, i.e., theConsensus model of T.E.S.T. v.4.2, resulted inVP value in the same rangeof i.e., 2.8E-08 Paat 25°C. Therefore, the VP prediction for the test substance using the MPBPWIN v.1.44 model of EPI SuiteTMcan be considered to be reliable with low to moderate confidence.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure was determined using the MPBPWIN v.1.44 model of Epi SuiteTM v4.11 (US EPA, 2019).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0 Pa
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

Using the modified Grain method, the VP value of the test substance was predicted to be 5.15E-8Pa at 25°C, indicating low volatility. As this VP value is very low and below the cut-off beyond which the chances of prediction error increases, it was substituted and represented generically as less than the cut-off value (i.e., <1.34E-4 Pa), still indicating low volatility.
