Executive summary:

The half-life period of test chemical in soil was estimated using Fugacity Model by EPI Suite estimation database. If released into the environment, 80.7% of the chemical will partition into soil according to the Mackay fugacity model. The half-life period of test chemical in soil is estimated to be 75 days. Based on this half-life value of test chemical, 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.

Description of key information

The half-life period of test chemical in soil was estimated using Fugacity Model by EPI Suite estimation database (secondary source, 2016). If released into the environment, 80.7% of the chemical will partition into soil according to the Mackay fugacity model. The half-life period of test chemical in soil is estimated to be 75 days. Based on this half-life value of test chemical, 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.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in soil:
75 d
at the temperature of:
