- Conclusions:
- Estimated half life of test chemical 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 chemical. If released in to the environment, 24.5% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of test chemical in water is estimated to be 15 days (360 hrs). 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 moderate to low whereas the half-life period of test chemical in sediment is estimated to be 135 days (3240 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 1% (i.e, reported as 0.569%), indicates that test chemical is not persistent in nature.
