Any other information on results incl. tables
For the initial screening study, the rate of aqueous photolysis for the test substance was approximately 6.0 d-1 in both distilled water and humic acid. The test guidelines specify that a definitive study is not required in cases where the ratio of the indirect to direct rate constants is less than 2. However, a definitive study was conducted to obtain an accurate measurement of the photolysis rate constant. Under these experimental conditions, the photolysis did not follow first order kinetics.
An additional study was conducted with a lower test substance concentration to minimize any photocatalytic effect (which may account for the deviation from first order kinetics) and twice the humic acid concentration to enhance any sensitizing effect. Under these conditions, humic acid had a sensitizing effect on the rate of photolysis, and the photolysis followed first order kinetics.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- This study concluded that the test substance is very photolabile and both direct and indirect photolysis contribute to its phototransformation.
- Executive summary:
Tests were conducted to determine whether natural humic acid significantly enhances the aqueous photolysis of the test substance. Quartz tubes containing the test substance in either distilled water or synthetic humic water at pH 7 were exposed to summer sunlight. Four studies were run using two different test substance concentrations; initial two studies were at 10 µM and the two additional studies were at 5 µM. The concentration of the test substance was monitored at various times and analysed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The exposure time varied from 30 minutes to 3 hours 45 minutes.
The results yielded the following kinetic data corresponding to photolysis at 40°C in summer at the surface of a flat water body with an absorbance of 0.1 at 290 nm:
Direct photolysis rate constant: 1.0 d-1
Indirect photolysis rate constant: 1.7 d-1
Overall photolysis rate constant: 2.7 d-1
Overall photolysis half-life: 0.26 d
The test substance is very photolabile, and both direct and indirect photolysis contribute to its phototransformation. The direct photolysis rate constant is dependent on the concentration of the test substance; the value of 1.0 d-1 applies to concentrations below 0.5 ppm (5 µM). Indirect photolysis is the major pathway at low concentrations but direct photolysis becomes predominant at higher concentrations as a result of photocatalysis by products.
