Regression analysis demonstrated that the slope of the regression line of the log Pow of the four successive samples was not significantly different from zero.Therefore equilibrium was considered to be achieved.

The recovery rates for stock solution range between 68 and 92 %.

The mass balance for isomer 1 ranges between 69 – 96 %.

The mass balance for isomer 2 ranges between 79 – 92 %.

 

Conclusions:

The substance has potential to bioaccumulate in the environment, according to CLP classification criteria for aquatic chronic toxicity (log Kow > 4).

Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test substance was measured under GLP according to the OECD 123 guideline, slow stirring method.

The partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) (log Pow) was determined for the individual isomers of the test item at test temperature of 25 ± 1 °C and at a pH value of 5.85 from three independent replicates (test vessels) with 4 sub-replicates (samples).

Quantification was performed using validated GC-MS analytical method.

The partition coefficient was determined as:

log Pow = 5.789 ± 0.007 for isomer 1 Cyclohexanepropanol,2,2,6‑trimethyl‑a‑propyl‑, (alpha.R,1R,6S)‑and
log Pow = 5.589 ± 0.042 for isomer 2 Cyclohexanepropanol,2,2,6‑trimethyl‑a‑propyl‑, [1a(S*),6b]‑ (9Cl)

No difference between isomers in test conditions.

Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test substance was measured according to the OECD 117/EU A8 guideline, HPLC method.

The system was calibrated with 6 reference substances, and the result for the sample was interpolated from the linear regression.

The logKow of the test substance was determined as 5.95, for both isomers.

Description of key information

Isomer 1 (alpha.R,1R,6S)- logKow = 5.79,

isomer 2 [1a(S*),6b]  (9Cl) logKow = 5.59

The substance has potential for bioaccumulation; the data is relevant for classification in aquatic chronic toxicity hazard class according to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 (CLP) criteria (log Kow>4).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):

at the temperature of:

25 °C

Additional information

Two fully reliable experimental studies, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method and under GLP, are available. The slow-stirring method, considered of higher quality than the HPLC, was chosen as the key study. The higher value (worst-case) is retained as key data.

The supporting HPLC study shows no difference between the isomers, that elute in a single peak.

Despite the substance was considered as surface-active (please refer to IUCLID section 4.10), in the tests conditions, no surface-active behaviour is supposed to affect the validity of the two studies.
