4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
[Explain how the model fulfils the OECD principles for (Q)SAR model validation. Consider attaching the QMRF or providing a link]
4.1 - Defined endpoint:
Soil adsorption coefficient KOC given as a logarithmic value. (Remark: Definition of KOC according to Lyman et al, 1990: “the ratio of the amount of chemical adsorbed per unit weight of organic carbon (oc) in the soil or sediment to the concentration of the chemical in solution at equilibrium” Koc = (µg adsorbed/g organic carbon) / (µg/mL solution) [L/kg or mL/g])
4.2 - Unambiguous algorithm:
* Non-polar chemicals (i.e. compounds where no correction factor is needed): log Koc = 0.8679 Log Kow - 0.0004
* Polar chemicals (i.e. compounds where a correction factor is needed): log Koc = 0.55313 Log Kow + 0.9251 + ΣPfN
The equations were developed in two separate regression calculations since this approach is statistically more accurate than the approach taken in the MCI-method
For more information, see KOCWIN help.
The employed descriptors (with units) are the Log Kow: logarithm of the n-octanol/water partition coefficient; Pf: correction factor for chemical class of functional group f; N: number of times chemical class or functional group f occurs. The list of the correction factors of the training set is available in KOCWIN Help, Appendix D.
The training set comprises of non-polar set (68 chemicals), see KOCWIN help appendix E and a polar set (447 chemicals), see KOCWIN help appendix F, taken from several literature sources. One compound of the original non-polar training set (hexabromobiphenyl) was not considered since there was no recommended experimental log KOW.
4.3 - Defined domain of applicability:
Currently there is no universally accepted definition of model domain. Log Koc estimates are less accurate for compounds outside the MW range of the training set compounds and/or that have more instances of a given fragment than the maximum for all training set compounds. It is also possible that a compound may have a functional group(s) or other structural features not represented in the training set, and for which no fragment coefficient or correction factor was developed. The limits are:
* Molecular weight: 32.04-665.02 g/Mol
* Fragments and Functional groups according to “Training Sets” and correction factors for best results
4.4 - Appropriate measures of goodness-of-fit and robustness and predictivity:
The Training set is constituted of 68 non-polar chemicals and 447 polar chemicals (since there was no recommended experimental log KOW for one non-polar chemical of the training set (hexabromobiphenyl)).
Nonpolar compounds: n = 68; r2= 0.877, std. dev. = 0.478, average dev. = 0.371
Polar compounds: n = 447, r²=0.855, std. dev. = 0.396, average dev. = 0.307
For more details, see KOCWIN Help, appendices E and F (non-polar and polar chemicals).
4.5 - Mechanistic interpretation:
The tendency of a compound to adsorb itself on organic carbon is linked with its lipophilicity. The n-octanol/water partition coefficient is one descriptor for lipophilicity
5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
- Descriptor domain: Yes, the substance is in the range of the model

log Koc = 0.5213 MCI + 0.60
* Polar chemicals (i.e. compounds where a correction factor is needed):

The equation was developed in a two step regression approach: 1. Derivation of equation without correction factors using a set of non polar chemicals 2. Derivation of final equation using a set of non-polar chemicals.
This method estimated Koc solely with a QSAR utilizing Molecular Connectivity Index (MCI). This QSAR estimation methodology is described completely in a journal article (Meylan et al, 1992) and in a report prepared for the US EPA (SRC, 1991). For more information, see KOCWIN help. The method does not consider log Kow for calculations.
The employed descriptors (with units) are the Log Kow: logarithm of the n-octanol/water partition coefficient; Pf: correction factor for chemical class of functional group f; N: number of times chemical class or functional group f occurs.

Description of key information
Koc was estimated with two separate estimation methodologies:
Method 1 : using log Kow (octanol-water partition coefficient)
Method 2: using first-order Molecular Connectivity Index (MCI)
Results of the two models did not show values within the same range.The MCI method does not take the log kow for calculations and the Koc estimated was very high. As the method 1 takes into account the experimental value of log kow of the substance, the Koc/LogKoc is more accurate.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Koc at 20 °C:
- 3 873
Additional information
With a Koc between 2000 -5000, the substance can be considered to adsorb rapidly to soil or sludge, showing little mobility (according to P.J. McCall et al., 1981)1.
