Abstract

Physicochemical properties of POPs (persistent organic pollutants) including POPs candidates and alternatives to POPs, and their environmental partitioning characteristics are of importance for considering the pathways of those compounds to the environment and countermeasures for reducing their emission. In this paper, we introduce how to gather the properties and evaluate the partition characteristics, adding cautionary notes about the use of certain predictive tools. Furthermore, we predict the physicochemical properties of new POPs and alternatives to current POPs, and then calculate their partition characteristics using different models. Finally, we discuss future topics about the models towards suggesting countermeasures to such compounds.
