- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- REACH guidance (Chapter R.7a, 2012) indicates that calculation and read-across should be the first step in estimating the Koc. No similar compounds were found which would provide read-across for DNNSA. The Guidance document (Chapter R.7a, 2012) recommends estimates be made using multiple models for a sensitivity check, therefore, a calculation of the Koc was conducted using the EPIWIN model KOCWIN and the models developed by Sabljic et al. (1995) which are described in TGD Part III (2003) and utilized by EUSES.

- The HPLC method (OECD 121) is not suitable for substances like DNNSA. The Log Koc for DNNSA that will be used for the environmental assessment will be 5.19, the average of the 3 values estimated by QSAR modeling
- Executive summary:
There are experimental and QSAR approaches for the determination of the Soil Adsorption Coefficient (Koc). REACH guidance (Chapter R.7a, 2012) indicates that calculation and read-across should be the first step in estimating the Koc. No similar compounds were found which would provide read-across for DNNSA. The Guidance document (Chapter R.7a, 2012) recommends estimates be made using multiple models for a sensitivity check, therefore, a calculation of the Koc was conducted using the EPIWIN model KOCWIN (US EPA, 2012)and the models developed bySabljic et al. (1995) which are described in TGD Part III (2003) and utilized by EUSES.
1. KOCWIN Model Calculation of Koc
The Soil Adsorption Coefficient Program (KOCWIN) estimates the soil adsorption coeffiecient (Koc) of organic compounds. Koc is defined as "the ratio of the amount of chemical adsorbed per unit weight of organic carbon (oc) in the soil or sediment to the concentration of the chemical in solution at equilibrium":
Koc = (ug adsorbed/g organic carbon) / (ug/mL solution)
Traditional estimation methods rely upon the octanol/water partition coefficient or related parameters (Meylan et al. 1992). The EPA modeling manual reports that the KOCWIN methodology based on Log Kow has an r2of 0.86.
The KOCWIN model estimates a Log Kow value to calculate the Koc. The KOCWIN Log Kow estimate for DNNSA is 8.52.
The results of the KOCWIN model for DNNSA are shown in Table 1.

Fragment Correction(s):
1 Sulfonic acid (-S(=O)-OH): 0.0000
Corrected Log Koc: 5.6378
Estimated Koc: 4.343e+005 L/kg
2. Koc Estimates Based on Models of Sabljic et al. 2003
Sabljic and Güsten (1995) in an international project funded by the EC developed a series of models for different chemical classes. These models are utilized in EUSES and are recommended in TGD Part III. For estimates of the Koc for DNNSA, the organic acid and the alcohol and organic acid models were used.
Chemical Class
Equation
Statistics
Organic acids
Log Koc = 0.60 log Kow + 0.32
N = 23, r2= 0.75
Alcohols and Organic acids
Log Koc = 0.47 log Kow + 0.50
N = 36, r2= 0.72
These equations require a Log Kow estimate for the chemical being evaluated. The log Kow for DNNSA used is the calculated value of 8.52 estimated by KOWWIN in the previous section.
Based on these equations and the Log Kow of 8.52, the Log Koc for DNNSA is 5.43 for the organic acids model and 4.50 for the alcohols and organic acids model.
3. Experimental Determination of Koc for DNNSA
To increase the accuracy of the Koc estimate, experimental methods are available. REACH guidance recommends that first consideration should be given to HPLC method described in OECD 121. This guideline indicates that the HPLC procedure may not be suitable for moderate and strong acids, or surface active compounds. DNNSA is both a relatively strong acid and a surface active compound. Furthermore, the method states that it has been validated for a variety of organic compounds, however, no acids are shown in tables of validated compounds provided in the guideline.
With a view to the stated cautions about the HPLC Koc estimation procedure, attempts to experimentally obtain a Koc were undertaken by King Industries and WIL Research. This testing gave unsatisfactory results with DNNSA retention times covering a range, both long and short, that was too broad to be useful for the assessment of the environmental behavior of DNNSA. It was concluded that these results were an artifact of the method for this type of chemistry and demonstrate the unsuitability of the method for determination of a Koc for DNNSA.
4. Conclusions
In view of the results with HPLC testing, and of REACH guidance indicating that “Estimated values are essential for substances for which experimental measurement is not feasible i.e. for difficult substances”, the Koc for DNNSA that will be used for the environmental assessment will be 5.19, the average of the 3 values estimated by modeling.
