- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): slightly soluble (0.1-100 mg/L)The test substance water solubility was determined to be 3 mg/l of solution at 20.0 °C. The substance is not surface active based on measurements of surface tension at different concentrations in a Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) determination under ISO 4311. The CMC could not be determined.
- Executive summary:
The critical micelle concentration of the substance was examined using an ISO 4311 method for anionic and non-ionic surface active agents using a plate, stirrup or ring methodology. From the experiments it was concluded the test substance has only a very low water solubility. Below (and even slightly above) the water solubility the measured surface tension is only marginally lower than that of pure water. Therefore it is not possible to determine to critical micelle concentration of the test substance. Based on the visual experiments, where a solution at 2 mg/L was completely dissolved whereas a solution at 4 mg/L was not completely dissolved, it was concluded that the water solubility is 3 mg/l (i.e. the closest approximation between a completely dissolved and supersaturated solution). The water solubility of the substance is considered to be 3 mg/L of solution at 20.0 °C and at approximately pH = 7.0.

WSKOWWIN v1.42; integrated within the Estimation Programme Interface (EPI) Suite programme for Microsoft Windows v4.11; September 2010 (model development); November 2012 (model publication)
2. Description of results and assessment of reliability of the prediction:
The predicted values are provided within the QPRF attached: ‘QPRF Title: Substance: Reaction mass of (9E)-9-undecenal and (9Z)-9-undecenal and undec-10-enal using the model WSKOWWIN v1.42 for the endpoint: Water Solubility’ version 1.0; 01 April 2018
The range of main constituents was: WSOL = 14.70 to 17.21 mg/L, respectively.
The other identified constituents were: WSOL = 34.93 mg/L
The substance consists of constituents in the slightly soluble (1 – 100 mg/L) range.
It is noted by the applicant there is no universally acknowledged applicability domain for the model. However, assessment of the substance within the applicability domains recommended by the developers is documented within the corresponding QMRF named ‘WSKOWWIN v1.42 and parallel model WATERNT v1.01: Water Solubility’ version 1.0; date: 01 April 2018 – section 5; indicates the substance (constituents):
(i) All constituents fall within the Molecular Weight range domain
(> 27.03 AND < 627.62 g/mol)
(ii) All constituents fall within the Log Kow range domain
(> -3.89 AND < 8.27)
(iiI) All constituents fall within the Water Solubility range domain
(> 0.0000004 mg/L – to miscible)
(iv) The substance has functional groups for which there are no functional groups for which a correction factor was developed. Specifically, assessment of the WSKOWWIN training and validation sets indicates that the test item constituent substances have functional groups or features (aldehyde, aliphatic) for which no fragment constants and correction factors are available. However, expert assessment of US EPA (1994), Title: Upgrade of the PCGEMS Water Solubility Method (document: SRC-TR-94_009) indicates there are at least ten (10) aldehydes, aliphatic and cyclic in the model training set used to derive the regression equation. This means that the constituents should be considered ‘in domain’. No constituents contain multiple fragment instances than the maximum of the training set (see QMRF title section 9.3 and US EPA (1994), document: SRC-TR-94_009, for more information which is available through the model help-system file by reference to an internet address where the documents may be downloaded).
(v) There is no overt mechanistic basis for the model. The WSKOWWIN model is based on the thermodynamic relationship between surrogate physicochemical properties (Log Kow and MP), chemical structure and their chemical activity (Water Solubility). Including within this specific model correlation between physico-chemistry and the measured water solubility along with sub-structure correction factors.
See QPRF section 3.3 and QMRF sections 5.1 and 9.3 for more information.
The model can be used to extrapolate on substances out of domain, by expert judgement with additional caution.
3. Uncertainty of the prediction and mechanistic domain:
The training set of the model has the following statistics and coefficients of determination:
Total Training Set Statistics: number in dataset (MW only) = 1450 ; correlation coef (r2) = 0.934 ; standard deviation = 0.585 ; average deviation = 0.442
Total Training Set Statistics: number in dataset (MW and MW) = 1450 ; correlation coef (r2) = 0.970 ; standard deviation = 0.409 ; average deviation = 0.313
The model has been externally validated. The relevant coefficients of determination for the external validation set of (i) 85 substances (Log Kow measured) and (ii) 817 (MP measured, no measured Log Kow) and the following statistics and coefficients of determination are presented:
Total Validation Set Statistics (i) 85 substances: number in dataset = 85 ; correlation coef (r2) = 0.865 ; standard deviation = 0.961 ; average deviation = 0.714
Total Validation Set Statistics (ii) 817substances: ; number in dataset = 817 ; correlation coef (r2) = 0.902 ; standard deviation = 0.615 ; average deviation = 0.480
Data for the training set are available via external validation (see attached QMRF prepared by the applicant for full citations).
There is no overt mechanistic basis for the model. The WSKOWWIN model is based on the thermodynamic relationship between surrogate physicochemical properties (Log Kow and MP), chemical structure and their chemical activity (Water Solubility). Including within this specific model correlation between physico-chemistry and the measured water solubility along with sub-structure correction factors. In order to improve the model additional substances could be added to the model training set with further measured experimental Log Kow and MP data. Additional substances not presently represented with substructure corrections could be introduced. Whilst there appears to be no direct analogues within the training set the model has been has been validated externally (using > 800) substances with a correlation coefficient (r2) = 0.902. The model is non-proprietary and the training sets and validation sets can be downloaded from the internet. A summary of this information is presented by the applicant.

From the CMC experiments it was concluded the test substance has only a very low water solubility. Below (and even slightly above) the water solubility the measured surface tension is only marginally lower than that of pure water. Therefore it is not possible to determine to critical micelle concentration of the test substance. Based on the visual experiments, where a solution at 2 mg/l was completely dissolved whereas a solution at 4 mg/l was not completely dissolved, it was concluded that the water solubility is 3 mg/l (i.e. the closest approximation between a completely dissolved and supersaturated solution).
