Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
For all C16 Tetrabutane isomers, the calculated half-life in the atmosphere is less than 11 hours for the reaction with naturally occuring OH radicals.
Executive summary:

For 4 representative Tetrabutane (C16) structures with different degree of branching, the atmospheric half-life for the reaction with OH-radicals was calculated with AOPWIN (Atmospheric Oxidation Rate Program) Program, Version 1.9 (default settings). The atmospheric half-life is in the range of 6.6 to 10.9 hours.

The degree of branching ranges from not branched to extremely branched. Therefore the statement that the half-life is less than 11 hours can be applied to all C16 tetrabutane isomers for the reaction with naturally occuring OH radicals.
