Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
The atmospheric half life of CS2 was estimated to be between 5 and 15 days.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in air:
- 5 d
Additional information
An atmospheric half-life due to photolysis of CS2cannot be estimated easily because of the very complicated chemistry of CS2Reaction mechanisms are pressure, oxygen and temperature dependent. However an atmospheric half life of 5 - 15 days seems to be a reasonable estimate. The main degradation products are COS and SO2.
Most older studies must be interpreted with great care as these are usually carried out at low partial oxygen pressure, which leads to different reaction mechanisms resulting in an underestimate of the actual degradation in the atmosphere under "natural" conditions.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
