Principles of method if other than guideline:
The Atmospheric Oxidation Program for Microsoft Windows (AOPWIN) estimates the rate constant for the atmospheric, gas-phase reaction between photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals and organic chemicals. It also estimates the rate constant for the gas-phase reaction between ozone and olefinic/acetylenic compounds. The rate constants estimated by the program are then used to calculate atmospheric half-lives for organic compounds based upon average atmospheric concentrations of hydroxyl radicals and ozone.

Conclusions:
In the atmosphere tetramine di C16-18 are likely to be degraded by reaction with hydroxyl radicals. The half-life in air is calculated using the EPIsuite QSAR using the advised 500000 OH-radicals/cm3
Executive summary:

In the atmosphere tetramine di C16 -18 is likely to be degraded by reaction with hydroxyl radicals. Degradation rates for some components were calculated with the Atmospheric Oxidation Programme based on structure activity relationships developed by Atkinson (1987). With a concentration of 500,000 OH-radicals/cm3, degradation half-lives of 1.2 h were calculated. Because there are no important releases into the atmosphere and volatilisation is expected to be negligible, this removal mechanism is thought to be of low relevance.

Description of key information

In the atmosphere tetramine di-C16-18 is likely to be degraded by reaction with hydroxyl radicals. Degradation rates for some components were calculated with the Atmospheric Oxidation Programme based on structure activity relationships developed by Atkinson (1987). With a concentration of 500,000 OH-radicals/cm3, degradation half-lives of 1.7 h and 1.24 h for resp triamine C18 and tetramines C18, and 2.1 and  1.4 h for the cis- and trans-isomer of the triamines 9-octadecenyl , respectively, were calculated. For the exposure calculations, a mean value for the tri- and tetraamines of 1.9 h is used. Because there are no important releases into the atmosphere and volatilisation is expected to be negligible, this removal mechanism is thought to be of low relevance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in air:
1.9 h

Additional information

Because there are no important releases into the atmosphere and volatilisation is expected to be negligible, this removal mechanism is thought to be of low relevance.
