Results and discussion

Percent distribution in media

Air (%):
91.6
Water (%):
6.2
Soil (%):
1.1
Sediment (%):
1.1

Any other information on results incl. tables

Over time, the uncharged substance will preferentially distribute into the compartments air (91.6%) and water (6.2%). However, as the model does not consider the ionic character of the molecule at environmental relevant pH condition, the distribution into water may be underestimated.
