QSPR studies on water solubility, octanol-water partition coefficient and vapour pressure of pesticides.

The assessment of the environmental fate and (eco)toxicological effects of pesticide compounds is of crucial importance. The present review is focused on Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships (QSPR) applications on three environmentally relevant physicochemical properties of pesticides, which can be used for assessing their environmental partition and transport, as well as exposure potential namely water solubility, octanol-water partition coefficient and vapour pressure. This article revises various interesting QSPR applications with special emphasis on studies developed during the 2009-2019 period.
