Conclusions:
Estimated half life of 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, monopotassium salt in water was 15 days (360 h) and in sediment estimated to be 135 days (3240 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 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, monopotassium salt (CAS No. 877 -24 -7). If released in to the environment, 20% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, monopotassium salt in water is estimated to be 15 days (360hrs). The half-life (15 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is not persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is low whereas the half-life period of 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, monopotassium salt in sediment is estimated to be 135 days (3240 hrs). However, as the percentage release of the chemical into the sediment is less than 1% (i.e, reported as 0.102%), indicates that 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, monopotassium salt is not persistent in nature.
