Description of key information

Following the Atkinson calculation, the photochemical half-life for reactions with OH-radicals (12-hr day; 1.5 x 106 OH/cm3) was determined to be 1.7 days.


 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in air:
1.7 d

RCC (1992): Investigation of the Evaporation of Nomolt (SAG 13406) from Soil and Dwraf Runner Bean. DocID according to Draft Assessment Report prepared in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009: TZ-620-013; crossreference to Draft Assessment Report according to Regulation (EU) No 1107/2009: CA 7.2.2/01


 


This study is summarized in the following for sake of completeness but has however not been documented in a separate IUCLID Endpoint Study Record.


 


Teflubenzuron has a very low vapour pressure (1.3x10-8 Pa at 25 °C).


Relatively little loss of teflubenzuron occurred after 24 hours via evaporation from soil (10.2%) or leaves (8.3%) treated with the formulation Nomolt containing 150 g/l of teflubenzuron at a rate of 150 g a.s / ha. Teflubenzuron is not considered volatile according to BBA guidelines. No further testing is necessary.


Following the Atkinson calculation, the photochemical half-life for reactions with OH-radicals (12-hr day; 1.5 x 106 OH/cm3) was determined to be 1.7 days.


Long term transport of teflubenzuron is not expected to be of concern.
