Description of key information
From a range of field studies on different matrices values for Koc have been determined. The values have been compared and it was shown that the predicted value based on log Kow (EUSES) was in the range of the field data. Thus the prediction (log Koc = 4.39) was used for the further distribution modelling.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Koc at 20 °C:

*)based on log Kow, used in the further calculations in EUSES
Calculation: A Koc value for HHCB can be estimated from the Kow value of 5.3 using the QSAR outlined in chapter 4 of the Technical Guidance document.The equation recommended for predominantly hydrophobics is log Koc= 0.81 * log Kow+ 0.10. Using this equation log Koc value is 4.39. The theoretical partition coefficients derived from EUSES are compared to experimentally derived data in the table above. It is concluded that the empirical values vary considerably but the predictions by EUSES are within that range.Therefore the calculations were carried out with the predictions made by EUSES on the basis of log Kow.
[LogKoc: 4.39]
