Any other information on results incl. tables

The data refer to the uncharged molecule (calculated pKa value: 10.59). Over time, the uncharged substance will preferentially distribute into the compartment sediment (50.0%) and soil (49.5%).

However, since the model does not consider the ionic form of the molecule at environmental relevant pH conditions (5 -9), the model may underestimate distribution into water.
