Estimation method (if used):

PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTION WITH OH RADICALS
- Concentration of OH radicals: 1.5 E6 OH/cm³
- Temperature for which rate constant was calculated: 25 °C
- Computer program: AOPWIN v1.92 by US-EPA (EPIWIN software)

Light source:

not specified

Details on light source:

Not applicable.

Details on test conditions:

The computer program estimates the gas-phase reaction rate for the reaction between the most prevalent atmospheric oxidant (hydroxyl radicals) and the desired chemical. For olefins and acetylenes the gas-phase ozone radical reaction rates are estimated as well. Additional information is given by the program if nitrate radical reaction will be important. The assumed average hydroxyl radical and ozone concentration are automatically used to calculate the atmospheric half-live for the chemical of interest.

Remarks:

scientifically accepted calculation method

Conclusions:

The study report describes a scientifically accepted calculation method for the phototransformation in air using the US-EPA software AOPWIN v1.92. For the test substance an overall gas-phase reaction constant (also called OH rate constant) of 38.1565 E-12 cm³/molecules-sec (= 0.000033 cm³/molecules-day) and an atmospheric half-life of 0.280 days (around 3.364 hours) was calculated. Neither an ozone reaction nor any nitrate radical reaction is important for the desired chemical.

Executive summary:

The phototransformation in air of the substance 2,4,6 -triisopropyl-m-phenylene diisocyanate was determined by the computer program AOPWIN v1.92 (EPIWIN software) by US-EPA (2012). The program estimates the gas-phase reaction rate for the reaction between the most prevalent atmospheric oxidant (hydroxyl radicals) and the desired chemical. For the test substance an overall gas-phase reaction constant (also called OH rate constant) of 38.1565 E-12 cm³/molecules-sec (= 0.000033 cm³/molecules-day) and an atmospheric half-life of 0.280 days (around 3.364 hours) was calculated. Neither an ozone reaction nor any nitrate radical reaction is important for the desired chemical.

Additional information

The phototransformation of the test material in air was determined by the computer program AOPWIN v1.92 (EPIWIN software) by US-EPA (2012). The program estimates the gas-phase reaction rate for the reaction between the most prevalent atmospheric oxidant (hydroxyl radicals) and the selected chemical. For the test substance an overall gas-phase reaction constant (also called OH rate constant) of 38.1565 E-12 cm³/molecules-sec (= 0.000033 cm³/molecules-day) and an atmospheric half-life of 0.280 days (around 3.40 hours) was calculated. Neither an ozone reaction nor any nitrate radical reaction is important for the desired chemical.

No GLP criteria are applicable for the usage of this tool, but due to the fact that it is a scientifically accepted calculation method the estimations performed are reliable with restrictions and can be used for the chemical safety assessment.
