Type of information:

calculation (if not (Q)SAR)

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

September 2010

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Result is the output from a well-known estimation model for environmental distribution factors. The result was calculated on the basis of reliable test data (experimentally-derived log Pow).

Qualifier:

no guideline followed

Principles of method if other than guideline:

In the absence of suitable testing data, the Adsorbtion / Desorption Coefficient was estimated using a computer model, based on the structure, and information on the log Kow, boiling point, water solubility, and vapour pressure. The computer model used was EPIWeb, and the calculation of Koc was performed by KOCWIN version 2.00.

Type:

log Koc

Value:

1.473

Remarks on result:

other: Value calculated using the Kow method.

Type:

log Koc

Value:

2.71

Remarks on result:

other: Value calculated using the Molecular Connectivity Index (MCI) method

Conclusions:

The calculated log Koc, derived on the basis of the experimentally determined log Kow (log Kow = 0.78) was 1.473.

Executive summary:

An environmental modelling program, EPIWeb, was used to estimate the Adsorbtion / Desorption coefficient. The CAS number was used to identify the substance and to recover the SMILES notation and estimate the molecular weight; a number of measured physico-chemical parameters (log K_ow, Boiling point, Vapour pressure, and water solubility).

The calculated log K_oc value based on the log K_ow was found to be 1.473; the value calculated on the basis of the MCI (Molecular Connectivity Index) method was 2.710.

The value calculated on the basis of the log K_ow method was considered slightly more reliable as it was based on an experimentally-derived value; this is the value which will be reported.

Adequacy of study:

supporting study

Study period:

12 November 1999 to 10 January 2000

Reliability:

3 (not reliable)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

GLP study performed in accordance to OECD test guideline, however the experimental estimation could not be performed as no suitable HPLC method could be established. A subsequent structure-based estimation gave too wide a margin for error for the result to be considered reliable.

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 121 (Estimation of the Adsorption Coefficient (Koc) on Soil and on Sewage Sludge using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC))

Deviations:

yes

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Deviations: As a result of the chemical nature of 1,3-BAC, the adsorption coefficient could not be measured using the procedure specified in the OECD draft document (Dec 1998). Therefore, using a 'Molecular Topology/Fragment Contribution Method For Predicting Soil Sorption Coefficients', the log10Koc of 1,3-BAC was calculated .

Transformation products:

not measured

Since the adsorption coefficient could not be measured using the technique specified in the study protocol, the log10Koc was estimated from the chemical structure. The chemical structure was entered directly into PCKOCWIN Version 1.66, software produced by the Syracuse Research Corportation. This software incorporates the ‘Molecular Topology/Fragment Contribution Method for Predicting Soil Sorptoin Coefficients’, W Melyan, P H Howard and R S Boethling, Environ. Sci. Technol. 26: 1560-7 (1992). The calculated value for log10Koc was 3.0. The calculation was validated and an estimate of the accuracy obtained by entering into PCKOCWIN the structures for a series of reference compounds, selected because they contain functional groups found in 1,3-BAC; the estimated accuracy was +/- 1.0 log units.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

no

Remarks:

Experimental determination as described in the OECD test guideline was not possible. Subsequently a computer model was used instead.

Conclusions:

As a result of the chemical nature of 1,3-BAC, the adsorption coefficient could not be measured. Therefore using a molecular topology/fragment contribution method for predicting soil sorption coefficients, the log10Koc of 1,3-BAC was calculated to be 3.0 +/- 1.0.

Executive summary:

As a result of the chemical nature of 1,3-BAC, the adsorption coefficient could not be measured using the procedure specified in the OECD draft document (December 1998): Estimation of the Adsorption Coefficient (K_oc) on Soil and Sewage Sludge using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), as no suitable detection method could be found. Using a 'Molecular Topology/Fragment Contribution Method For Predicting Soil Sorption Coefficients', the log₁₀K_ocof 1,3-BAC was calculated to be 3.0 ± 1.0.

Additional information

An environmental modelling program, EPIWeb, was used to estimate the Adsorbtion / Desorption coefficient. The CAS number was used to identify the substance and to recover the SMILES notation and estimate the molecular weight; a number of measured physico-chemical parameters (log₁₀ K_ow, Boiling point, Vapour pressure, and water solubility).

The calculated log₁₀ K_ocvalue based on the log₁₀ K_owwas found to be 1.473; the value calculated on the basis of the MCI (Molecular Connectivity Index) method was 2.710.

The value calculated on the basis of the log₁₀ K_owmethod was considered slightly more reliable as it was based on an experimentally-derived value; this is the value which will be reported.

In a study intended to measure the K_oc (Safepharm, 2000), it was noted that as a result of the chemical nature of 1,3-BAC, the adsorption coefficient could not be measured using the procedure specified in the OECD draft document (December 1998): Estimation of the Adsorption Coefficient (K_oc) on Soil and Sewage Sludge using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), as no suitable detection method could be found. Using a 'Molecular Topology/Fragment Contribution Method For Predicting Soil Sorption Coefficients', the log₁₀ K_oc of 1,3-BAC was calculated to be 3.0 ± 1.0. The EPIWeb estimation was run in response to the result for the estimation in the 2000 study; it was considered that an error margin of ±1.0 was too wide for the calculated log₁₀ K_oc value to be considered reliable; on this basis, the EPIWeb result was used for calculations in environmental modelling.
