Administrative data

Endpoint:
distribution modelling
Type of information:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Remarks:
Migrated phrase: estimated by calculation
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The level III fugacity modelling of EPIWEB v 4.1 was used which is a direct adaption of the methodology of Mackay’s EQC model, which is a well established and validated distribution model.

Study design

Test substance input data:
Environmental parameters: All half-lifes (in air, water, soil and sediment), emissions, soil Koc and advection values derived by estimation methods within EPI Suite are used as the input environmental parameters. Other physchem parameters used for estimation are melting point, vapour pressure, Henry’s Law constant and log Kow.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The weighted average estimated percent distribution and half-life of the substance in air, water, soil and sediment, using Fugacity level III model (EPIWEB v 4.1) was found to be 0.0044, 8.72, 75.01 and 16.22% and 0.282, 37.22 , 74.45 and 335.03 days respectively.
Executive summary:

The distribution generated using fugacity level III model of EPIWEB 4.1 indicates that

C12 -14 ADMAES

is likely to partition mostly to the soil (75.01%) and sediment (16.22%) compartments and to a lesser extent to water (8.72%) and air (0.0044%) (U.S. EPA, 2012c). However, considering its ready biodegradability and low BCF value (i.e., 69.22 L/kg ww), it can be assumed that

the substance

will not be persistent or bioaccumulate in soil or other environmental compartments.
