Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the adsorption coefficient of the test substance, 'di-C18-22 AAEMIM-MS' (active: 100%), according to OECD Guideline 121, in compliance with GLP. An HPLC system equipped with ultraviolet and charged aerosol detectors (HPLC/UV/CAD) was used to determine the Koc and log Koc of the test substance in a soil/sewage sludge media at ca. 30°C. The retention factor was recorded and the log Koc was then determined from linear regression for the test and reference substances. The test substance was not retained on the chromatographic system. Under the study conditions, the mean adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the test substance was determined to be <33.1 (mean log Koc = < 1.52) for sewage sludge and < 18.2 (mean log Koc = < 1.26) for soil (Springborn, 2010).

Description of key information

Based on the results of the study, adsorption coefficient of the test substance, ‘di-C18-22 AAEMIM-MS’ was determined to be <33.1 (mean log Koc = < 1.52) for sewage sludge and < 18.2 (mean log Koc = < 1.26) for soil at 20°C. Using these Koc values and respective weight fraction organic carbon suspended solids, sediment solids and soil from R.16 ECHA Guidance (i.e., FOCsusp of 0.1, FOCsediment of 0.05 and FOCsoil of 0.02), the distribution coefficient for adsorption in suspended matter (surrogate for sewage sludge; Kpsusp), sediment (Kpsediment) and soil (Kpsoil) values of 0.52, 0.22 and -0.44 have been taken forward for risk assessment respectively.
