Phototransformation in air
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
A Rate constant (for indirect photolysis) of 0.0000065 m³/(molecule*sec) is reported resulting in a DT50 of 59 hours. This value represents the worst case value out of the available DT50 values between 24 and 59 hours.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in air:
- 59 h
- Degradation rate constant with OH radicals:
- 0 m³ molecule-1 s-1
Additional information
In two publications data on the phototransformation in air of cumene is presented in the EU-RAR (2001) in section 3.1.1.2.1. Cumene is reported to have reaction rates of 6.14 -7.8 10 -12 [cm3 molec-1 s-1] and a DT50 of 1 -2.4 days by Lloyd et al. (1976).
In the publication of Atkinson (1990) the current knowledge of the
gas-phase reactions occurring in the troposphere for alkanes, alkenes,
alkynes, oxygenates and aromatic hydrocarbons and their photooxidation
products is reviewed, and areas of uncertainty identified. A Rate
constant (for indirect photolysis) of 0.0000000000065 cm³/(molecule*sec)
has been reported for cumene. A DT50 of 59 hours can be
calculated from this value. As a worst case assumption the longest DT50
of 59 hours value is selected as key value for the chemical safety
assessment.
