- The Risk Assessment Report is the result of in-depth work carried out by experts in one Member State, working in co-operation with their counterparts in the other Member States, the Commission Services, Industry and public interest groups. The Risk Assessment was carried out in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) 793/931 on the evaluation and control of the risks of “existing” substances. The methods for carrying out an in-depth Risk Assessment at Community level are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) 1488/942, which is supported by a technical guidance document. Normally, the “Rapporteur” and individual companies producing, importing and/or using the chemicals work closely together to develop a draft Risk Assessment Report, which is then presented at a Meeting of Member State technical experts for endorsement. The Risk Assessment Report is then peer-reviewed by the Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (CSTEE) which gives its opinion to the European Commission on the quality of the risk assessment.

Description of key information
The members of this category are gases at standard temperature and pressure and will predominantly partition to the atmosphere. The use of QSAR to predict the soil adsorption coefficient of representative constituents of these streams is an appropriate technique and it is more appropriate to consider the soil adsorption of representative constituents of these streams.
The representative constituents of the category studied and used as supporting read-across are But-1-en-3-yne (CAS 689-97-4), But-1-ene (CAS 106-98-9), But-2-ene, cis- (CAS 590-18-1), But-2-ene, trans- (CAS 624-64-6), Buta-1,2-diene (CAS 590-19-2), Buta-1,3-diene (CAS 106-99-0), Butane (CAS 106-97-8), Prop-1-ene, 2-methyl- (CAS 115-11-7), Propane, 2-methyl- (CAS 75-28-5).
The log Koc of representative constituents of this category has been predicted using the EPISUITE v4.11 KOCWIN (2017) program, which uses methodology described by Sahljic et al., (1995) and Meylan et al. (1995). The predicted log Koc for this category ranged from 1.21 - 2.51 (Kow method) and 1.5 - 1.79 (MCI method).
In addition, values cited in EU RAR indicate that adsorption to soil and sediment for 1,3 -Butadiene (CAS 106 -99 -0) is not likely to be important. As the substance is a gas, it will preferentially partition to and rapidly volatilize to the atmosphere.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
For 1,3 -Butadiene (CAS 106 -99 -0), the Koc was predicted to be 51.6 using the log Kow of 1.99. Log additional adsorption / desorption values for sediment, suspended matter and soil of 2.58, 5.16 and 1.03 L/kg respectively are reported here as reported in the EU RAR, 2002.
