Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The estimated percent distribution of amides, C16-18 (even-numbered) and C18-unsatd., N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl) in air, water, soil and sediment, using Fugacity level III model (EPIWEB v 4.1) was 0.095, 23.56, 75.27 and 1.06 respectively. The corresponding estimated half life was 0.057, 15, 30 and 135 d respectively.
- Executive summary:
Distribution data in air, water, soil and sediment was estimated using Mackay level III fugacity modelling (EPIWEB v 4.1). This model is a direct adaption of the methodology of Mackay’s EQC model, and is a well established and validated distribution model.
The values of the percent distribution in different environmental compartments for amides, C16-18 (even-numbered) and C18-unsatd., N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl) were finally calculated on a weighted-average basis using the mole fractions of the individual components.
The estimated percent distribution in air, water, soil and sediment, using Fugacity level III model (EPIWEB v 4.1) was 0.095, 23.56, 75.27 and 1.06 respectively. The corresponding estimated half life was 0.057, 15, 30 and 135 d respectively.
