According to “ANNEX IX- STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF 100 TONNES OR MORE , an adsorption study need not be conducted if:
— based on the physicochemical properties the substance can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption (e.g. the substance has a low octanol water partition coefficient), or
— the substance and its degradation products decompose rapidly.
The log of the adsorption coefficient (KOC) of Potassium amyll xanthate was estimated to be log KOC =1.3841 which is equal to a KOC value of 24.21 using the KOCWIN v2.00 QSAR method. This value indicates that Potassium amyl xanthate will be adsorbed by organic carbon in soil. Potassium amyl xanthate can be classified to be of very high mobility in soil according these results and does not have a high potential for adsorption to soil
Potassium amyl xanthate and xanthates in general adsorbs strongly to sulphide minerals but has less affinity for surfaces in general.
The KOC value of 24.21 also suggest this conclusion.
The estimated Soil Adsorption Coefficient was 4L/kg measured by calculation from EPI SuiteTM v4.1 Program. This is Exposure Assessment Tools and Models made from EPA (Environmental Protection Agency

Henry's Law constant
The estimated Henrys Law Constant (25 deg C) measured by calculation from EPI SuiteTM v4.1, HENRYWIN v3.20 Program was 4.724E-016 atm-m3/mole (4.786E-011 Pa-m3/mole) , which is almost zero.

Distribution modelling.
Potassium amyl xanthate has no affinity to be in air and sediment. The direct emissions to soil and surface water are significant, therefore Potassium amyl xanthate will be almost exclusively be found in soil and surface water.
Mackay fugacity modelling (level 3) indicates that, taking into account degradation and using inflow parameters which are consistent with the known production tonnage of this substance in, fugacity coefficient indicates that environmental concentrations in water are predicted to be 6.11e-021 (atm), in air (atm) 2.33e-019 and soil 2.24e-019 (atm) and sediment to be 5.5e-021 (atm).
These are negligible low levels. This can be considered a worse case prediction as it assumes all product is emitted with no emission control systems used.
Other distribution data
Theresultsfor Potassium amyl xanthate suggest that direct and indirect exposure from distribution in media is unlikely.
Based on low vapor pressure and low estimated log Pow, expected to partition to water and soil. Not expected to partition to air, sediments or biota.
Therefore testing for distribution in media does not need to be performed.
