Abstract
The majority of the SKYBIO will be used in the treatment of water in food processing plants, swimming pools and cooling towers, in the manufacture fabric softeners in Australia. Most will eventually be released into domestic sewage system as a consequence of product use. The SKYBIO is not readily biodegradable (0% over 28 days), and is expected to have a low partition coefficient and high water solubility (285 g/L), all indicating that the material would be mobile in both aquatic and terrestrial compartment. The PEC/PNEC ratio for the aquatic environment is 56. This value is significantly greater than 1, indicating an immediate concern to the aquatic compartment. However as a consequence of it's cationic character, the SKYBIO will be expected to associate to negatively charged organic matter in soil and sediment.
