Description of key information

EPI Suite has estimated that biphenyl-2-ylamine is expected to be found not predominantly in soil and it’s not persistence estimate is based on its transformation in this medium. Its half-life in soil, 75 days (1800 hrs), does exceeds the threshold of 120 days as per Annex XIII of REACH.
Therefore, biphenyl-2-ylamine is estimated to be not persistent in the soil environment.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in soil:
75 d
at the temperature of:
25 °C
