Description of key information

Half-life period of biphenyl-2-ylamine in water is observed to be 37.5 days (900 hrs.) while in sediment it is 337.5 days (8100 hrs). Based on these half-life values of biphenyl-2-ylamine, it is concluded that the chemical is not persistent in water and sediment.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in freshwater:
37.5 d
at the temperature of:
25 °C
Half-life in freshwater sediment:
337.5 d
at the temperature of:
25 °C
