Conclusions:
Estimated half life of test chemical 4(phenylazenyl)benzene-1,3-diamine in water was 60 days (1440 h) and in sediment estimated to be 541.66 days (1300 h).
Executive summary:

Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound 4(phenylazenyl)benzene-1,3-diamine (CAS No. 495 -54 -5). If released in to the environment, 14.5% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of 4(phenylazenyl)benzene-1,3 -diamine in water is estimated to be 60 days (1440 hrs). The half-life (60 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical ispersistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals ismoderate to high whereas the half-life period of 4(phenylazenyl)benzene-1,3-diamine in sediment is estimated to be 541.66 days (1300 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 1% (i.e, reported as 0.826%), indicates that 4(phenylazenyl)benzene-1,3-diamine is not persistent in sediment.
