Mobility

The environmental fate was estimated using a level III fugacity model embedded in the EPI (estimation program

interface) Suite TM, provided by the US EPA. The model assumes a steady state condition between the total

input and output. The level III model does not require equilibrium between the defined media. The information

provided is intended to give the user a general estimate of the environmental fate of this product under the

defined conditions of the models.

If released into the environment this material is expected to distribute to the air, water and soil/sediment in the

approximate respective percentages;

Air : 5%

Water : 30 - 50%

Soil : 50 - 70%

The portion in water is expected to be soluble or dispersible.
