Area of Science:

  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose environmental risks due to their tendency to sorb to soil.
  • Accurate prediction of soil sorption coefficients is crucial for environmental risk assessment.
  • Quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models offer a computational approach to predict chemical properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop robust Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) models for predicting soil sorption coefficients of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
  • To identify key molecular descriptors influencing the soil sorption behavior of POPs.
  • To validate the predictive power of the developed models using cross-validation techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of QSPR models using a dataset of 32 persistent organic pollutants.
  • Utilization of the novel Lu index and distance-based atom-type DAI topological indices as molecular descriptors.
  • Application of multiple linear regression (MLR) for model development.
  • Assessment of model performance using correlation coefficient (R) and standard error (s), and leave-4-out cross-validation (R(cv), s(cv)).

    • Main Results:

    • A 6-variable QSPR model was successfully developed with a high correlation coefficient (R = 0.95) and low standard error (s = 0.23).
    • Cross-validation yielded a correlation coefficient (R(cv) = 0.90) and standard error (s(cv) = 0.31), indicating good predictive ability.
    • The study identified molecular size as the dominant factor controlling soil sorption coefficients for POPs.
    • Specific DAI indices were found to have a smaller, yet influential, role.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed QSPR models provide reliable predictions of soil sorption coefficients for POPs.
    • Molecular size is the primary determinant of POPs' sorption behavior in soil.
    • The novel Lu index and DAI topological indices are valuable descriptors for QSPR modeling in environmental chemistry.
    • These findings contribute to better understanding and predicting the environmental fate of POPs.
