Conclusions:
Estimated half life of 3-Nitroacetophenone in water was 37.5 days (900 h) and in sediment estimated to be 337.5 days (8100 h).
Executive summary:

Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound 3-Nitroacetophenone (CAS No. 121 -89 -1). If released in to the environment, 19.8% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of 3-Nitroacetophenone in water is estimated to be 37.5 days (900 hrs). The half-life (37.5 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is not persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to low whereas the half-life period of 3-Nitroacetophenone in sediment is estimated to be 337.5 days (8100 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 1% (i.e, reported as 0.114%), indicates that 3-Nitroacetophenone is not persistent in sediment.
