Derivation of Maximum Permissible Concentrations for Several Volatile Compounds for Water and Soil
In this report Maximum Permissible Concentrations (MPC's) for water, sediment and soil were derived for 46 volatile organic compounds in frame of the project 'Volatile compounds'. This project is part of another one called 'Setting integrated environmental quality objectives'. Because most of the 46 compounds are acting by narcosis the QSAR (Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships) approach from Van Leeuwen et al. (1992) is used in order to derive MPC's for water. This approach uses NOEC values obtained by application of QSAR's for minimum toxicity for 19 different organisms. These NOEC values are used as input data for the extrapolation method of Aldenberg and Slob to calculate a MPC. Toxicity data for soil organisms were gathered from literature. Due to scarcity of data only for 11 compounds a MPC for soil could be derived. In all cases the modified EPA method had to be applied. No toxicity data were available for benthic organisms exposed via contaminated sediment.
