Conclusions:
Estimation Programs Interface (EPI) Suite (2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound Tetrabutyl ammonium hydrogen sulphate (CAS No.32503 -27 -8). Estimated half life of Tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulphate in water was 8.666 days (208 h) and in sediment estimated to be 77.916 days 1870 h).
Executive summary:

Estimation Programs Interface (EPI) Suite (2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound Tetrabutyl ammonium hydrogen sulphate (CAS No.32503 -27 -8). If released in to the environment, 17.8% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of test chemical in water is estimated to be 8.666 days (208 hrs). The half-life (8.666 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is not persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to low whereas the half-life period of test chemical Tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulphate in sediment is estimated to be 77.916 days (1870 hrs). Based on this half-life value (77.916 days), it indicates that the chemical Tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulphate is not persistent in sediment.
