Executive summary:

E0286P/040A: DETERMINATION OF pH

SUMMARY

The pH of the test item has been determined using a procedure based on OPPTS 830.7000, August 1996 of the Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) Guidelines and Method MT75.3 of the CIPAC Handbook for the Analysis of Technical and Formulated Pesticides. The results are as follows:

	pH (at 25°C)
Neat	N/A*
1% Aqueous solution/dispersion	4.22

* Discussion

The ultimate pH of the neat test item was “under range”, i.e. outside of the experimental range for the pH meter. Therefore, no definitive pH result could be determined for that sample.

As the test item was known to be insoluble in water, it was considered that the finding for the neat sample was most likely caused by the test item interfering with the liquid junction of the pH probe rather than providing evidence of an extremely low pH.

Therefore, it was considered that pH testing of the neat test item was not applicable.

Constant stirring of the original dispersions was maintained for the 1% w/v samples. Constant stirring of each aliquot was maintained during pH measurements for the 1% w/v samples.

Constant stirring was required for the 1% w/v samples, as the test item could not be dispersed by shaking alone. Even using constant stirring, the samples consisted of globules of test item floating around in the bulk water.

The pH probe was rinsed with distilled water between measurements.
