OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH:
pH 4: The pH 4 solution was prepared as a 0.01 M sodium acetate buffer. It was prepared by weighing 0.82 grams of anhydrous sodium acetate into a l liter volumetric flask and adding 900 mL of distilled water. The pH was adjusted to 4.0 with concentrated acetic acid and diluted to the mark with distilled water.

pH 7.0: pH 7.0 solution was prepared as a 0.01 M phosphate buffer. It was prepared using 1.4 grams of potassium phosphate monobasic crystal per liter of solution.
The pH was adjusted to 7.0 with 1 N sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid and diluted to the mark with distilled water.

pH 9.0: pH 9.0 solution was prepared as a 0.025 M sodium borate buffer. It was prepared by weighing 9.5 grams of sodium borate decahydrate into a 1 liter volumetric flask and adding 900 mL of distilled water. The pH was adjusted to 9.0 with sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid and diluted to the mark with distilled water. The buffers were autoclaved prior to use in order to remove any microbes and oxygen from the solutions.

Executive summary:

Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the half-life of the test chemical Ethyl 2-naphthyl ether (CAS no. 93 -18 -5). The studies are as mentioned below:

The half-life of the test chemical was determined at different pH range. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 111 (Hydrolysis as a Function of pH) at a temperature of 50°C. Test chemical was reported to be hydrolytically stable at pH 4, 7 and 9 & at a temperature of 50⁰C with a corresponding half-life of > 1 years, respectively. Based on this, it is concluded that the test chemical is not expected to undergoe hydrolysis under environmental test conditions and thus can be considered to benot hydrolysable.
