Description of key information

The distribution in a sewage treatment plant (STP) has been estimated using the SimpleTreat model (implemented in EUSES 2.1.2), see table below. Due to the rapid hydrolysis of3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl-(2E,4E)-hexa-2,4-dienoate, the distribution calculation is done for the silanol hydrolysis product, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl-(2E,4E)-2,4-hexadienoate.

3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl-(2E,4E)-hexa-2,4-dienoate hydrolyses rapidly to 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl-(2E,4E)-2,4-hexadienoate and methanol.

Methanol is readily biodegradable. 3-(Trihydroxysilyl)propyl-(2E,4E)-2,4-hexadienoate is not expected to undergo any significant biodegradation, and is predicted to have low Henry’s Law constant and low log Kow/log Koc. Distribution modelling for STP indicates that water is the main compartment to which it is expected to partition in a sewage treatment plant. Water is also likely to be the main compartment to which 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl-(2E,4E)-2,4-hexadienoate will partition in the wider environment.
