Details on results:

As no test item was detected in the majority of the samples, and where test item was detected, the response was significantly below that of the lowest calibration standard, the result has been reported as a limit value. The Iimit value used is the level at which satisfactory recovery was demonstrated for the sample analysis procedure, i.e. 5.06 x 10-5 g/L.

The preliminary water solubility test indicated that the column elution method should have been performed as the solubility was less than 1x10^-2g/L. However, due to the extremely low water solubility of the test item, a large volume of sample was required for the analysis. This made determination by the column elution method impractical due to the extremely large reservoir volume which would be required to facilitate multiple samples to be taken. Therefore the flask method was used as this allowed for larger sample volumes to be taken for analysis.

The concentration (g/L) of test item in the sample solutions is shown in the following table:

Sample Number	Time Shaken at ~ 30 °C (hours)	Time Equilibrated at  20 °C (hours)	Concentration (g/L)	Solution pH
1A 1B	24	24	< 5.06 X 10^-5	6.75
			< 5.06 X 10^-5
2A 2B	48	24	< 5.06 X 10^-5	5.91
			< 5.06 X 10^-5
3A 3B	72	24	< 5.06 X 10^-5	6.35
			< 5.06 X 10^-5

Conclusions:

According the TG OECD 105 and GLP study, the water solubility of the test material is less than 5.06 x 10-5 g/L of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C.

Executive summary:

An experimental study was performed in accordance with GLP and TG OECD 105 to determine the water solubility of the test item. The solubility is less than 0.0506 mg/L at 20°C, and the substance is therefore considered insoluble in water.
