Reference
Description of key information
DT50 = 34 d in summer sunlight (50° North) (EPA Guideline Subdivision N, 161-3)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in soil:
- 34 d
Additional information
The photodegradation of the substance in soil was investigated in a study conducted according to EPA Guideline Subdivision N 161-3. The substance was applied on a sandy loam soil and the soil samples irradiated for 32 days (12:12 h light/darkness). The results were compared with a second set of soil samples that was kept in permanent darkness. A half-life of 34 days in artificial sunlight and 48 days in permanent darkness was recorded for the test substance. The main degradation products were sulfone and sulfonic acid.
