Conclusions:
The half-life period of Tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulphate (CAS No. 32503 -27 -8) in soil was estimated using Level III Fugacity Model by EPI Suite version 4.1 estimation database (EPI suite, 2017). Biodegradation half-life of test substance Tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulphate in soil was estimated to be 17.333 days (416 hrs)
Executive summary:

The half-life period of Tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulphate (CAS No. 32503 -27 -8) in soil was estimated using Level III Fugacity Model by EPI Suite version 4.1 estimation database (EPI suite, 2017). If released into the environment, 80% of the chemical will partition into soil according to the Mackay fugacity model level III. The half-life period of Tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulphate in soil is estimated to be 17.333 days (416 hrs). Based on this half-life value of Tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulphate, it is concluded that the chemical is not persistent in the soil environment and the exposure risk to soil dwelling animals is moderate to low.
