In the model m-cresol is treated as a type 1 chemical, i.e. the chemical partitions into all environmental media. Estimation is carried at an environmental temperature of 25 °C.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The distribution of m-cresol in a "unit world" was calculated according to the Mackay fugacity model level I based on the physico-chemical properties. The main target compartment for m-cresol is water with 96.3 %, followed by air with 2.3 %, soil and sediment each with 0.7%.
- Executive summary:
The distribution of m-cresol in a "unit world" was calculated according to the Mackay fugacity model level I (Currenta, 2009) based on the physico-chemical properties. The main target compartment for m-cresol is water with 96.3 %, followed by air with 2.3 %, soil and sediment each with 0.7%.
