Phototransformation in air
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Decane half-life in air is 0.963 days. Therefore, decane is to be considered as not persistent in the atmospheric compartment (DT50 less than 2 days).
Undecane half-life in air is 0.854 days. Therefore, undecane is to be considered as not persistent in the atmospheric compartment (DT50 less than 2 days).
Dodecane half-life in air is 0.767 days. Therefore, dodecane is to be considered as not persistent in the atmospheric compartment (DT50 less than 2 days).
Tetradecane half-life in air is 0.648 days. Therefore, tetradecane is to be considered as not persistent in the atmospheric compartment (DT50 less than 2 days).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The phototransformation in air was estimated from the AOPWIN v1.92 calculations of phototransformation.
The phototransformation rate of decane is 11.11 x 10-12 cm3/molecule/sec. The calculated half-life is 0.963 d (11.552 hrs). This value is largely below the trigger limit (2 days). Therefore, decane is not persistent.
The phototransformation rate of undecane is 12.52 x 10-12 cm3/molecule/sec. The calculated half-life is 0.854 d (10.249 hrs). This value is largely below the trigger limit (2 days). Therefore, undecane is not persistent.
The phototransformation rate for dodecane is 13.94 x 10-12 cm3/molecule/sec. The calculated half-life is 0.767 d (9.210 hrs). This value is largely below the trigger limit (2 days). Therefore, dodecane is not persistent.
The phototransformation rate of tetradecane is 16.76 x 10-12 cm3/molecule/sec. The calculated half-life is 0.638 d (7.657 hrs). This value is largely below the trigger limit (2 days). Therefore, tetradecane is not persistent.
