Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
adsorption / desorption: screening
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 106 (Adsorption - Desorption Using a Batch Equilibrium Method)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
batch equilibrium method
Media:
soil
Radiolabelling:
no
Test temperature:
20 +/-1 °C
Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on test conditions:
Soil: Brookston clay loam soil (type Argiaquoll, fine, loamy, mixed, mesic), collected from top 15 cm air-dried, 5.10% organic matter, pH 5.7, soil/solution ratio 1:10, TS concentrations 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 mg/l, deoxygenated by purging with a mixture of N2 and H2 (9:1 v/v)
Type:
Koc
Value:
34.58
Transformation products:
not measured
Conclusions:
The Koc of m-cresol was determined with a batch equilibrium method, similar to OECD Guideline 106. The low koc of 35 suggests a low potential for adsorption in soil.
Executive summary:

The Koc of m-cresol was determined with a batch equilibrium method, similar to OECD Guideline 106. The low koc of 35 suggests a low potential for adsorption in clay loam.

Description of key information

The experimentally determined Koc value  for m-cresol is 35 for a clay loam.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Koc at 20 °C:
35

Additional information

The distribution between the organic phase of soil solids and water was determined in batch equilibrium experiments similar to the OECD guideline 106. For a clay loam soil a Koc of 35 was determined.
