Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
phototransformation in air
Type of information:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
no data, secondary reference
GLP compliance:
not specified
Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
The estimated atmospheric half-life of 2-chlorobenzonitrile is 66 days.
Executive summary:

The photochemical degradation of 2 -chlorobenzonitrile has been estimated by calculation using AOP v1.91 based on atmospheric concentration of OH radicals of 5 * 10^5/cm³.

The calculated reaction rate constant is 2.4 * 10^-13 cm³/(molecule * s), the estimated half-life of 2-chlorobenzonitrile is 66 days.

Direct photolysis is not expected.
