Principles of method if other than guideline:
Using SMILES as input parameter, the biodegradation potential of the test substance in soil was estimated under Level III fugacity model of EPISuite 4.11, which is calculated based on Biowin3 results of BioWin v.4.11 model and a conversion factor of 0.5 developed under EPA's P2 framework.

Details on experimental conditions:
Since the test substance is a UVCB with similar constituents (varying mainly in the number of acrylates Pentaerythritol backbone as well as adduct formation), soil biodegradation half-life were predicted for the individual constituents followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value based on mole fractions.

Conclusions:
According to the BIOWIN v4.11 based predictions under Level III fugacity, the predicted soil half-life values of the individual constituents ranged from 30 to 75 days, leading to a weighted average half-life value of 42 days.
Executive summary:

The biodegradation potential of PETIA in soil was estimated under Level III fugacity model of EPISuite 4.11. Since the test substance is a UVCB with similar constituents (varying mainly in the number of acrylates attached to the pentaerythritol backbone as well as adduct formation), soil biodegradation half-life values were predicted for the individual constituents (>5%) followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value based on mole fractions. Using SMILES as input parameter, the biodegradation potential of the test substance in soil was estimated under Level III fugacity model of EPISuite 4.11, which is calculated based on Biowin3 results of BioWin v.4.11 model and a conversion factor of 0.5 developed under EPA's P2 framework. The predicted soil half-life values of the individual constituents ranged from 30 to 75 days, leading to a weighted average half-life value of 42 days (US EPA, 2019).Regarding the domain evaluation, while all the individual constituents meet the MW and calculated rating domain criteria, 4 out of 6 constituents have their ester fragment exceeding the maximum number of instances occurring in the training set compounds. The remaining fragment numbers identified for the individual constituents were all below the maximum number of instances. Therefore, overall, the accuracy of the prediction can be considered to be reliable with restrictions.

Additional information

The biodegradation potential of PETIA in soil was estimated under Level III fugacity model of EPISuite 4.11. Since the test substance is a UVCB with similar constituents (varying mainly in the number of acrylates attached to the pentaerythritol backbone as well as adduct formation), soil biodegradation half-life values were predicted for the individual constituents (>5%) followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value based on mole fractions. Using SMILES as input parameter, the biodegradation potential of the test substance in soil was estimated under Level III fugacity model of EPISuite 4.11, which is calculated based on Biowin3 results of BioWin v.4.10 model and a conversion factor of 0.5 developed under EPA's P2 framework. The predicted soil half-life values of the individual constituents ranged from 30 to 75 days, leading to a weighted average half-life value of 42 days (US EPA, 2019).Regarding the domain evaluation, while all the individual constituents meet the MW and calculated rating domain criteria, 4 out of 6 constituents have their ester fragment exceeding the maximum number of instances occurring in the training set compounds. The remaining fragment numbers identified for the individual constituents were all below the maximum number of instances. Therefore, overall, the accuracy of the prediction can be considered to be reliable with restrictions.

 

Using similar conversion factors from EP P2 framework, the above predictions can be further supported by the CATALOGIC Kinetic 301 models-based soil half-life extrapolations, which ranged from 4.25 to 31 days for the individual constituents.
