Results and discussion

Percent distribution in media

Other distribution results:
The potential environmental distribution of 2-ethylhexyl  methacrylate obtained from generic level III fugacity model under two  emission scenarios is shown in the table. 
The results show that if 2-ethylhexyl  methacrylate is released mainly into air, it mainly remains in the air.  And if it is released into water, it also mainly remains in the water.  2-EHMA is predicted to partition to a small degree into soil and sediment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Using a valid modeling method, if 2-ethylhexyl  methacrylate is released into air, it mainly remains in the air; if it is released into water, it mainly remains in the water. 2-EHMA is predicted to partition to a small degree into air, soil and sediment.
Executive summary:

Using a valid modeling method, if 2-ethylhexyl  methacrylate is released into air, it mainly remains in the air; if it is released into water, it mainly remains in the water. 2-EHMA is predicted to partition to a small degree into air, soil and sediment.
