Year : 2003<br />

Remark : GLP: no<br />

Result : The soil or sediment adsorption coefficient (Koc) of Potassium methoxide<br />

was calculated as Koc = 1.<br />

Reliability : (3) invalid<br />

Value uncertain, because of the ionic nature of the substance.<br />

The distribution of potassium <strong>methanolate</strong> is of limited relevance for the<br />

assement of the environmental behaviour as due to the rapid hydrolysis in<br />

water, the relevant species subject to environmental distribution are the<br />

degradation products potassium hydroxide and methanol.<br />
