Reference
Endpoint:
phototransformation in air
Type of information:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
no data, secondary reference
GLP compliance:
not specified
Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
The estimated atmospheric half-life of 2-chlorobenzonitrile is 66 days.
Executive summary:

The photochemical degradation of 2 -chlorobenzonitrile has been estimated by calculation using AOP v1.91 based on atmospheric concentration of OH radicals of 5 * 10^5/cm³.

The calculated reaction rate constant is 2.4 * 10^-13 cm³/(molecule * s), the estimated half-life of 2-chlorobenzonitrile is 66 days.

Direct photolysis is not expected.
