Description of key information

The half-life period of 3-Phenylpropyl acetate (CAS No. 122 -72 -5) in soil was estimated using Level III Fugacity Model by EPI Suite version 4.1 estimation database (EPI suite, 2016). If released into the environment, 72.6% of the chemical will partition into soil according to the Mackay fugacity model level III. The half-life period of 3-Phenylpropyl acetate in soil is estimated to be 30 days (720 hrs). Based on this half-life value of 3-Phenylpropyl acetate, it is concluded that the chemical is not persistent in the soil environment and the exposure risk to soil dwelling animals is moderate to low.
