Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The calculated half-lives of phenol in two lakes with different depths at an average temperature of 19.8 °C and an average wind velocity of 3 m/s are: t1/2=65 days (lake with a depth of 2.9 m); t1/2=392 days (lake with depth of 8.3 m).
Executive summary:

Mass transfer model which relates the evaporation rate of a
chemical to its Henry's constant, molecular diffusion
coefficient and the transport properties of the water body,
namely the oxygen transfer coefficient and the evaporation
flux, which are estimated by using the collected
environmental data and published literature representative
of similar water bodies. The calculated half-lives of phenol
in two lakes with different depths at an average temperature
of 19.8 °C and an average wind velocity of 3 m/s are:
t1/2=65 days (lake with a depth of 2.9 m);
t1/2=392 days (lake with depth of 8.3 m).
