Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
Since the substance itself was used also in the trainingsset of the QSAR tool, the prediction is in the applicability domain. Hence the QSAR tool is considered relevant and reliable for this substance.

Conclusions:
log Pow: 2.03
Executive summary:

The log Pow for monuron as calculated with the EPIwin v4.11 QSAR tool resulted in 2.03.

Since the substance itself was used also in the trainingsset of the QSAR-tool, the substance is in the applicability domain.

Hence the result is considered relevant and reliable for the further assessment of the substance.

Conclusions:
log Pow: 1.94
Executive summary:

In the EPIwin QSAR tool-box v4.11 a literature reference is made to Hansch et al. (1995). The experimentally determined log Pow is reported to be 1.94.

This result is considered relevant and reliable since the data base for the EPIwin QSAR-tool has been peer reviewed.

Conclusions:
log Kow 1.94
Executive summary:

In the data collection of RIVM prepared by van Bellen (2000), the log Kow of monuron is reported to be 1.94. It is indicated that this information has been obtained from MacKay D and Shiu M 1997, Illustrated handbook of physical-chemical properties and environmental fate for organic chemicals Vol. 5 Boca Raton, Floriday: Lewis publishers. Further details were not provided.

Considering the lack of information on how the log Kow of 1.94 was obtained, this value is considered to be usable for weight of evidence and not as stand alone information.

Additional information

An experimentally derived logPow of 1.94 and a logPow of 2.03 as derived from the EPIwin QSAR tool v4.11are available for monuron.

Both data are similar. The experimentally determined result is considered more relevant in the EPIwin-QSAR tool for the water solubility, i.e.. the logPow of 1.94 was used for the calculation of the water solubility.

Since the difference between both logPow data is small and using the more conservative result of 2.03 would not result in another classification/PBT-assessment, we followed the EPIwin logic and used the experimentally derived value as most relevant information. This is supported by the weight of evidence information from van Bellen (2000).
