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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Phototransformation in air
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- phototransformation in air
- Type of information:
- (Q)SAR
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with limited documentation / justification
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- other: calculated with EPISuite v3.12, AOPWIN v1.91, model (US EPA, 2000)
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Estimation method (if used):
- Photochemical reaction with hydroxy radicals:
Sensitiser (for indirect photolysis): hydroxy radicals (OH)
Concentration of OH radicals: 1.5E06 molecules / cm3
Temperature for which rate constant was calculated: 25 °C
Daylight: 12 hours per day - Details on light source:
- Sunlight
- DT50:
- 0.13 d
- Test condition:
- calculated
- Transformation products:
- not specified
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not applicable
- Conclusions:
- The rate constant for indirect photolysis in air (OH-mediated photodegradation) for Bisphenol A is 80.6E-12 cm3 / (molecule*sec) and half-life is 0.13 days, assuming 12 hours daylight and a hydroxyl radical concentration of 1.5E6 molecules per cm3.
- Executive summary:
After exposure to air, Bisphenol A will be rapidly degraded by photochemical processes. The rate constant for indirect photolysis in air (OH-mediated photodegradation) is 80.6E-12 cm3 / (molecule*sec) and half-life is 0.13 days, assuming 12 hours daylight and a hydroxyl radical concentration of 1.5E6 molecules per cm3.

Additional information
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.
