Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Distribution in environmental compartments has been calculated using a Fugacity model, under the emission scenario of 1000 kg/h into each of air, water and soil compartments, according to Mackay, Level III. Distribution in various environmental compartments is estimated as: Air= 0.0%; Water= 26.4%; Soil= 73.6% and Sediment= 0.03%.
Soil and water were then found to be the major target compartments.
