Description of key information

Based on the solubility of bismuth tris(2-ethylhexanoate) in water, a complete dissociation resulting in bismuth and 2-ethylhexanoate ions may be assumed under environmental conditions. Thus, the transport and distribution of bismuth tris(2-ethylhexanoate) in the environment is most accurately evaluated by separately assessing the fate of its constituents bismuth and 2-ethylhexanoate.

Regarding bismuth, median log Kp values of 3.84 L/kg dw and 5.66 L/kg dw were determined for sediment and suspended matter, respectively. A log Kp value of 2.83 L/kg soil was selected for soil-water partitioning. Bismuth has a low mobility under relevant environmental conditions.

A significant adsorption to solid phases is not expected for the readily biodegradable 2-ethylhexanoate anion.
