Description of key information
The estimated half life of toluene is 2.59 days based on a recommended reaction rate with hydroxyl radicals and the concentration of hydroxyl radicals recommended in the Technical Guidance Document (2003).

Additional information
The estimated half life of toluene is 2.59 days based on a recommended reaction rate with hydroxyl radicals and the concentration of hydroxyl radicals recommended in the Technical Guidance Document (2003). Measured data from the author and other investigators were quality assessed and then used to develop rate constants for different chemicals (Atkinson 1985). Therefore, this value represents a valid rate constant for toluene based on all valid studies at the time of publication.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
