Details on experimental conditions:
Level III Fugacity model
EPI Suite contains a Level III fugacity model. In general, fugacity models predict the partitioning of an organic compound in an evaluative environment. A Level III model assumes steady-state but not equilibrium conditions. The Level III model in EPI Suite predicts partitioning between air, soil, sediment and water using a combination of default parameters and various input parameters that may be user defined or estimated by other programs within EPI Suite.

The model environment consists of 4 main compartments: air, water sediment and soil. There are also sub-compartments such as an aerosol phase, suspended solids, and biota phase, within specific main compartments. A fixed temperature of 25ᵒC is assumed. Mass transport between the compartments via volatilization, diffusion, deposition and runoff are modeled. level III models is a steady state, non-equilibrium model. Steady state conditions mean that the change in concentration of a chemical in each compartment (i) with respect to time eventually approaches zero. The model does not assume that a common equilibrium (fugacity) exists between the phases, so if a chemical is emitted into one compartment it can partition to the other compartments. Loss of chemical occurs through two processes: reaction and advection. Reaction is the biotic or abiotic degradation of the chemical that is calculated using the user specified or model calculated half-lives of the chemical in each of the 4 main compartments. Advection processes are considered for the air, water and sediment compartments. Advection is the removal of chemical from a compartment through losses other than degradation (reaction). The rate of advection in a given compartment is determined by a flow rate (m3/hour), calculated by dividing the volume of the compartment by an advection time.

Conclusions:
Biodegradation half-life of test substance 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-4-(3-chloropropyl)piperazine in soil was estimated to be 360 days (8640 hrs).
Executive summary:

The half-life period of 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-4-(3-chloropropyl)piperazine (CAS No. 39577-43 -0) 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, 92.8% of the chemical will partition into soil according to the Mackay fugacity model level III. The half-life period of 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-4-(3-chloropropyl)piperazine in soil is estimated to be 360 days (8640 hrs). Based on this half-life value of 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-4-(3-chloropropyl)piperazine, it is concluded that the chemical is persistent in the soil environment and the exposure risk to soil dwelling animals is moderate to high.
