Sample Number	Fortified Test Item Concentration (g/L)	Observations	Solution pH	Sample Number
1	1.0 x 10-3	A clear, colorless solution, with no visible excess, undissolved test item, however the solution demonstrated a very strong Tyndall beam, indicative of a dispersion of undissolved, emulsified test item.	6.0	1
2	5.0 x 10-4	A clear, colorless solution, with no visible excess, undissolved test item, however the solution demonstrated a moderate Tyndall beam, indicative of a dispersion of undissolved, emulsified test item.	6.1	2
3	1.0 x 10-4	A clear, colorless solution, with no visible excess, undissolved test item, however the solution demonstrated a weak Tyndall beam, indicative of a dispersion of undissolved, emulsified test item.	6.3	3

Conclusions:

The water solubility of the test item has been determined to be less than 1.0 x 10-4 g/L of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C.
The water solubility of the test item was addressed visually in the absence of an available analytical method capable of evaluating aqueous solutions of test item at concentrations relevant to its solubility. To further evaluate the water solubility of the test item, calculations were performed using the specialised predictive software, WSKOWWIN, version 1.42, © 2000 US Environmental Protection Agency. The water solubility calculation performed using the experimental partition coefficient limit value resulted in a water solubility of <1.5 x 10e-7 g/L (equivalent to <0.15 ppb). When repeating the calculation using the software generated partition coefficient value, not limited by available reference items in OECD Method 117, the result indicated that the actual solubility may be as low as 2.5 x 10e-14 g/L.
