Calculation was performed according to the model described in the first publication of Mackay (1991). Phase properties and composition of the compartments were modified as suggested by the Federal Environmental Agency (UBA, Germany).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The distribution of 1,4-dichlorobenzene in a "unit world" was calculated according to the Mackay fugacity model level I (Currenta, 2009) based on the physico-chemical properties. The main target compartment for 1,4 -dichlorobenzene is air with 95.94 %, followed by water with 2.95 %, soil with 0.5 % and sediment with 0.6 %.
