Description of key information
Additional information
Diuron will rapidly disappear in air as evidenced by the calculated half-life of 2.9 to 3.1 hours. Diuron is hydrolytically stable at pH 5, 7 and 9 for 120 hours at 50 °C, in the dark. The hydrolytic degradation of Diuron is less than 10 % and the corresponding half life at ambient temperature (calculated using Arrhenuis equation) estimated to be longer than 1 y. Therefore, chemical hydrolysis can be excluded as a dissipation mechanism of Diuron in environmental systems.
In irradiated solution Diuron degraded with a calculated half-life of about 43 days under natural (latitude 30 -50 ºN) sunlight assuming 12 hours of daylight. The quantum yield (the number of photons destroyed/the number photons absorbed) of direct photodegradation of Diuron in pure water was calculated to be 0.0243. UV spectra and model assessments indicate that the elimination of Diuron from the aquatic environment via direct photodegradation is to be expected.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
