Description of key information
The photodegradation of the substance in water was investigated in two studies. The key study determined a half life of the substance in summer sunlight (assuming 12 hours a day) at 30° N of 0.62 days.
A further study was performed with [(5-chloroquinolin-8-yl)oxy]acetic acid (i.e. the main transformation product in soil and water/sediment systems).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in water:
- 0.62 d
Additional information
The key study (Schaffer, 1991) is a GLP-compliant test conducted according to EPA guideline subdivision N 161-2 (photodegradation studies in water). The photodegradation of the test substance in water was evaluated under artificial light (wavelenght <290 nm, relative light intensity based on intensity of sunlight: 0.63 based on midday midsummer at 50° N)) and the half life of the substance in summer sunlight at 30° N was determined to be 0.62 days (assuming 12 hours of sunlight). A GLP compliant, guideline (UBA Test Guideline "Phototransformation of Chemicals in Water, Part A, Direct Phototransformation", Berlin, FRG, January 1990) supporting study (Phaff, 1996) also found that the photochemical half-life of the substance in surface waters is likely to be short.
A GLP compliant, guideline (UBA Test Guideline "Phototransformation of Chemicals in Water, Part A, Direct Phototransformation", Berlin, FRG, January 1990) supporting study (Abildt, 1995) found that the photochemical half-life of [(5-chloroquinolin-8-yl)oxy]acetic acid in surface waters is likely to be short.
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).
