Details on study design:
Level III Fugacity model
EPI Suite contains a Level III fugacity model. In general, fugacity models predict the partitioning of an organic compound in an evaluative environment. A Level III model assumes steady-state but not equilibrium conditions. The Level III model in EPI Suite predicts partitioning between air, soil, sediment and water using a combination of default parameters and various input parameters that may be user defined or estimated by other programs within EPI Suite.

The model environment consists of 4 main compartments: air, water sediment and soil. There are also sub-compartments such as an aerosol phase, suspended solids, and biota phase, within specific main compartments. A fixed temperature of 25ᵒC is assumed. Mass transport between the compartments via volatilization, diffusion, deposition and runoff are modeled. level III models is a steady state, non-equilibrium model. Steady state conditions mean that the change in concentration of a chemical in each compartment (i) with respect to time eventually approaches zero. The model does not assume that a common equilibrium (fugacity) exists between the phases, so if a chemical is emitted into one compartment it can partition to the other compartments. Loss of chemical occurs through two processes: reaction and advection. Reaction is the biotic or abiotic degradation of the chemical that is calculated using the user specified or model calculated half-lives of the chemical in each of the 4 main compartments. Advection processes are considered for the air, water and sediment compartments. Advection is the removal of chemical from a compartment through losses other than degradation (reaction). The rate of advection in a given compartment is determined by a flow rate (m3/hour), calculated by dividing the volume of the compartment by an advection time.

Conclusions:
Estimated half life of test chemical Dipotassium 4,4'-bis[6-anilino-4-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino]stilbene-2,2'-disulphonate in water was 180 days (4320 h) and in sediment estimated to be 1620.833 days (38900 h).
Executive summary:

Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound Dipotassium 4,4'-bis[6 -anilino-4 -[bis(2 -hydroxyethyl)amino-1,3,5 -triazin-2 -yl]amino]stilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (CAS No. 71230 -67 -6). If released in to the environment, 0.684% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of Dipotassium 4,4'-bis[6-anilino-4-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino]stilbene-2,2'-disulphonate in water is estimated to be 180 days (4320 hrs). The half-life (180 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to high whereas the half-life period of Dipotassium 4,4'-bis[6 -anilino-4 -[bis(2 -hydroxyethyl)amino-1,3,5 -triazin-2 -yl]amino]stilbene-2,2'-disulphonate in sediment is estimated to be 1620.833 days (38900 hrs). Based on this half-life value, it indicates that Dipotassium 4,4'-bis[6 -anilino-4 -[bis(2 -hydroxyethyl)amino-1,3,5 -triazin-2 -yl]amino]stilbene-2,2'-disulphonate is persistent in sediment.
