Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Remarks:
Migrated phrase: estimated by calculation
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Acceptable calculation method
Justification for type of information:
1. SOFTWARE
see Mackay, D. 2001. "Multimedia Environmental Models: The Fugacity Approach - Second Edition", Lewis Publishers, Boca Raton, pp. 1-261.

2. MODEL (incl. version number)
Mackay Level I v3.00

3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL
- molar mass
- temperature
- water solubility
- vapor pressure
- melting point
- log kow

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
For details see Mackay, D. (2001); Mackay et al. (1996)

5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
For details see Mackay, D. (2001); Mackay et al. (1996)

6. ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT
A Level I calculation is not required under REACh but gives a general impression of the likely media into which a chemical will tend to partition and an indication of relative concentrations in each medium.

Results and discussion

Percent distribution in media

Air (%):

Any other information on results incl. tables

Over time, the uncharged substance will preferentially distribute into the compartments air (50.6%) and water (47.8%).

However since the substance will be ionized under environmentally relevant conditions, the distribution into water may still be underestimated.
