Reference
Endpoint:
Henry's law constant
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Scientifically accepted calculation method.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The Henry´s Law Constant of the substance was calculated based on QSAR methods using the computer program from US-EPA (EPIWIN software: HENRYWIN Program v3.20).
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
Not applicable.
H:
0.061 Pa m³/mol
Temp.:
25 °C
Remarks on result:
other: Bond Method estimation.
Conclusions:
The study report describes a scientifically accepted calculation method to determine the Henry´s Law Constant using the US-EPA software HENRYWIN v3.20.No GLP criteria are applicable for the usage of this tool and the QSAR estimation is easily repeatable.
Executive summary:

The Henry´s Law constant of the test substance was determined by the computer program HENRYWIN v3.20 (EPIWIN software) by US-EPA (Chemservice S.A., 2012). Henry´s law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid solution at a constant temperature will be proportional to the partial pressure of the gas which is above the solution (Henry, 1803). Sometimes, the term “air/water partition coefficient” refers to the dimensionless Henry´s law constant (HLC) and therefore describes the ratio of the equilibrium concentration of a dissolved substance in air and water. HENRYWIN estimates two separate HLC values (one using the group method and one using the bond method). The bond contribution methodology splits a compound into smaller units (one atom to another atom only). The bond method includes individual hydrogen bond values; the group method does not.Using the Bond Method of the computer program HENRYWIN from US-EPA a Henry´s Law Constant of 6.13 E-002 Pa*m³/molwas calculated for the test substance at 25 °C. The Group Method showed an “incomplete Result”.

The Group Method showed an “incomplete result”. No GLP criteria are applicable for the usage of this tool, but due to the fact that it is a scientifically accepted calculation method the estimations performed are reliable with restrictions and can be used for the chemical safety assessment.
