The derivation of Koc from Kow values as described in the TGD (2003) is reported as a usable valid model by ECHA, which fulfilled all OECD principles.

1. A defined endpoint

Adsorption coefficient (Koc).

2. An unambiguous algorithm

19 models have been developed for different chemical classes (see table 4 of the TGD part III).The chemical class “predominantly hydrophobics” is defined as compounds containing only carbon, hydrogen and halogen (F, Cl, Br, I) atoms, “nonhydrophobic chemicals” being all chemicals that cannot be classified as predominantly hydrophobics. Fourteen class-specific QSAR models were produced for all nonhydrophobic classes of chemicals, in order to give more appropriate equations. The test substance is considered non hydrophobics. The corresponding equation is log Koc = 0.52*log Kow + 1.02

3. A defined domain of applicability

The applicability domain of the sorption models developed by Sabljic and Güsten (1995) depends on the considered chemical class, and is based on logKow range (see table 5 of the TGD part III). The substance is within the validity domain of predominantly hydrophobics.

4. Appropriate measures of goodness-of-fit, robustness and predictivity

For predominantly hydrophobics: n (number of data) = 81; R² (correlation coefficient) = 0.89; s.e. (standard error of estimate) = 0.45.

5. A mechanistic interpretation, if possible

No data

Remarks:

Conclusions:
The Koc of (-)-alpha-pinene predicted from log Kow following equations of Sabljic and Güsten (1995) for non hydrophobic susbtances is 2184 L/Kg
Executive summary:

Koc has been predicted by calculations from log Kow using equations of Sabljic and Güsten (1995) for non hydrophobic susbtances.

The predicted Koc of (-)-alpha-pinene is 2184 L/kg.

Description of key information

Koc has been estimated by 3 QSAR methods conducted on (-)-alpha-pinene: 
1. with KOCWIN from EPISUITE 4.0 using CAS number as input and the Molecular Connectivity Method (MCI) = 1020 L/kg;
2. with KOCWIN from EPISUITE 4.0 using experimental Log Kow and CAS number as input = 7421 L/kg;
3. from experimental log Kow with equation of Sabljic and Güsten (1995)  for non hydrophobic susbtances as reported in TGD (2003) = 2184 L/kg.
The geometric mean of the 3 Koc predicted values is considered for chemical safety assessment = 2547 L/kg.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Koc at 20 °C:
2 547

Additional information

ECHA Guidance (chapter R.7.a, paragraph R.7.1.15) recommends calculating the Koc endpoint value as the geometric mean of results obtained by means of QSARs.

This geometric mean value is considered as the endpoint defining the substance for adsorption and is used as input parameter for Environmental Risk Assessment.
