12 °C

Additional information

An OECD 307 aerobic soil transformation study (3 soils) was carried out with [1-14C]-Hexadecanamine (Harlan, 2010). Although this C16 amine is strongly sorbing to soil (median Kpsoil of 3875 L/kg at lowest measured concentration) half-lives between 8.1 and 9 days at 20 degree C were determined. The median Half-life of 8.9 d at 20 degree C corresponds to a median Half-life of 16.9 d at an environmental temperature of 12 degree C (see REACH Guidance).
