COLLECTION AND STORAGE
- Geographic location: #1: Drummer (clay loam), #2: California (loam), #3: Nambsheim (sandy loam), #4: Lleida (silty clay), #5: Sassafras (sandy loam)
- Soil preparation: air-dried and sieved through a 2-mm sieve
Details on test conditions:
TEST SYSTEM
- Desorption experiments were conducted only on those samples treated at the highest test solution concentration
- Type, size and further details on reaction vessel: Tarson’s polypropylene centrifuge tubes
- Number of reaction vessels/concentration: 2
- Method of preparation of test solution: the two highest treatment solutions were prepared by transferring radiolabeled stock solution to a 10-mL volumetric flask and drying the contents under nitrogen. The residue was then reconstituted in 0.01 M CaCl2 by sonicating for less than a minute and bringing to volume with 0.01 M CaCl2. Treatment solutions of 0.45, 0.225 and 0.045 µg/L were prepared by further diluting 1000µL of the prepared treatment solutions to 10-mL volumetric flask using appropriate volumes of 0.01 M CaCl2. The radioactive concentrations of the test item were determined by LSC analysis of triplicate aliquots.
- 5 g (oven dry weight equivalent) soil was weighed into centrifuge tube, the total moisture content: 4.5 mL and mixed overnight via mechanical agitation, test samples were then treated with 0.5 mL of the treatment solution and placed on the mechanical agitator for 24 h; desorption (after supernatant removal): fresh 0.01 M CaCl2 solution (equivalent to that removed following adsorption) was added to each of the soil samples from the highest test item solution concentration (nominal 0.45 µg/mL). A second desorption equilibration and analysis was immediately repeated as described above. After the second desorption, the soil samples were air-dried, and triplicate aliquots of the dried soil sample were combusted prior to LSC analysis.

Description of key information

logKoc = 0-2.16 (OECD 106)

The test item has a low adsorption potential to soil and sediment.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The adsorption / desorption of the test substance was examined in two studies performing batch equilibrium experiments according to OECD guideline 106 under GLP conditions.

The first study was performed with five nominal test concentrations of radio labelled test item (0.45, 0.225, 0.045, 0.0225 and 0.0045µg/mL) in 0.01 M CaCl2 at 20°C. The test item concentrations were determined by liquid scintillation counting (LSC). The five representative soils cover a wide range of physico-chemical properties. Two desorption cycles were performed on samples treated at the highest test concentration. The adsorption parameters were calculated using the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The material balance ranged from 94.1 to 105.1% and is within the acceptable guideline range of 90-110% of the applied radioactivity. The resulting Koc values for the adsorption of the test item and the five soils ranged between 2.4 and 25.5 L/kg (average 12.2 L/kg, LogKoc = 0.38 - 1.41). Furthermore, a relationship of adsorption with soil pH was observed. The two soils with pH (CaCl2) < 6 exhibited the strongest sorption (KOC approximately 25 mL/g) and three soils with pH > 7 exhibited weaker sorption (KOC ≤ 5 mL/g).

In a second study, adsorption and desorption properties of 0.45 µg/mL radiolabelled test item (in 0.01 M CaCl2) to a total of 20 soils was investigated. The percent organic matter of the soils ranged from 0.5-18.8%, and the pH in 0.01 M CaCl2 ranged from 4.0-7.83. Sorption coefficients and percent of the test item desorbed from the soil during two desorption intervals was calculated and totalled (DT) for all soils. The average material balance was in an acceptable range (91.4 - 108.8%). The derived KOC values were in a range between 0.00 and 143.27 L/kg (average: 33.44 L/kg, Log Koc = 0 - 2.16)
