Description of key information
Additional information
According to the fugacity model level III, the most likely environmental fate for this test chemical is soil (i.e. estimated to 69%). However, saccharin is not expected to be persistent in soil due to the estimated short half-life (30 days) (EPI suite version 4.1). Biodegradability was investigated for the read across compound sodium saccharin (CAS no. 128-44-9) in six different types of soils under anaerobic conditions. The half-life in soil was approximately 3 up to 12 days depending on soil type for sodium saccharin (Buerge et al., Environ. Sci. Technicol, 45, (2011) 615-621). The fast degradation in soil is consistent with the high elimination level observed in WWTPs (approx. 90%) for sodium saccharin (Buerge et al., 2011, Environ. Sci. Technicol, 45, 615-621). Henceforth, risk of chronic saccharin exposure terrestrial animals should be very low. There is also low risk for acute toxicity in microorganisms (Stolte et al., Environmntal International 60(2013); 123-127)
The Log Koc-value is experimentally determined to -1.353 at 25 ºC (UERL version 4.1). The tested chemical is therefore not expected to adsorb to sediments. Fugacity modelling shows that sediment is not an important environmental fate (less than 0% when estimated by EPI Suite version 4.1). There is also a high removal in sediment face of WWTPs (Subedia and Kannan, Environ. Sci. Technol. 2014, 48). There is low risk of exposure for benthic organisms, given the low Koc-value, low partion potential to sediment, and high removal in WWTPs.
According to environmental fate modelling, 31% of the test chemical is partioning into water. The half-life in water is estimated to be 15 days (less than the 40-day-threshold for persistence in water). Both environmental fate and persistence in water was estimated by EPI suite version 4.1. Saccharin is significantly removed from WWTPs (90% removal efficiency) in US. Similar WWTP-results have been reported both from Germany and China. The removal frequency were high both in the sludge- and water face of the WWTP process (Subedia and Kannan, Environ. Sci. Technol. 2014, 48). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected based upon the test chemicals estimated Henry's Law constant (EPI suite version 4.1). Hence, the current compound is expected to be rapidly degraded in water.
Following is the summary of the endpoints presented in this section:
Stability
Phototransformation in air
The atmospheric oxidation half-life of 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide was estimated using the level III multimedia model. It was estimated that the substance is persistent in air medium as the half life period of 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide in air is 2.7 days. This indicates that 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide is not photo transformed in air.
OVERALL OH Rate Constant = 0.0000000000059 cm3/molecule-sec.
Hydrolysis
The Hydrolysis rate constant of 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide is estimated to be 0.00000000000588 cm3/molecule-sec. at half life of 21.828 Hrs.The estimated half life of the substance indicates that the substance is moderately hydrolysable.
Phototransformation in water
No experimental data available. As this study is not a standard information requirement in REACH and there is no indication from the CSA on the need to investigate further the fate and behaviour of the substance (Annex X requirement), no further testing is considered necessary.
Phototransformation in soil
No experimental data available. As this study is not a standard information requirement in REACH and there is no indication from the CSA on the need to investigate further the fate and behaviour of the substance (Annex X requirement), no further testing is considered necessary.
Biodegradation
Biodegradation in water:
The ready biodegradability study results (UERL) on the close read-across (sodium saccharin) indicates that the substance is moderately biodegradable. Further this is supported by the ultimate biodegradation estimate in the Biowin model (EPI suite version 4.1) shows that the current compound is moderately biodegradable (biowin 2=0.6, biowin 3=2.8, biowin<0.5).

Transport and distribution
Adsorption/Desorption
Soil Adsorption Coefficient i.e Koc value of 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide was estimated as 10 L/kg by means of MCI method. This indicates that 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide will have negligible tendency of sorption to soil and sediment and therefore have rapid migration potential to groundwater.
Henry's Law constant
Henry's Law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.Henry’s law constant of1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxidewas estimated to be 0.000125 Pa m³/mol at 25 degC.
