Executive summary:

Using the AOPWIN QSAR model, the photochemical degradation rate of Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate in the atmosphere is 32.4364 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec, with a resultant predicted half live of 3.957 Hrs ( 0.330 Days (12-hr day; 1.5E6 OH/cm3))

Description of key information

Using the AOPWIN QSAR model, the photochemical degradation rate of Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate in the atmosphere is 32.4364 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec, with a resultant predicted half live of 3.957 Hrs ( 0.330 Days (12-hr day; 1.5E6 OH/cm3))
If released to air, a vapor pressure of 4.18E-021 mm Hg at 25 deg C (4.18E-021 mm Hg   is equivalent to vapour pressure of 5.57E-019 Pa) indicates significant amounts of Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate are unlikely to be present in the atmosphere for photodegradation and therefore Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in air:

Additional information

Using the AOPWIN QSAR model, the photochemical degradation rate of Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate in the atmosphere is 32.4364 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec, with a resultant predicted half live of 3.957 Hrs ( 0.330 Days (12-hr day; 1.5E6 OH/cm3))

  OVERALL OH Rate Constant = 32.4364 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec

  HALF-LIFE =    0.330 Days (12-hr day; 1.5E6 OH/cm3)

  HALF-LIFE =    3.957 Hrs

   

Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate has low vapor pressure (5.57E-019at 25C) indicating significant amounts of Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate are unlikely to be present in the atmosphere for photodegradation.

The estimated half-life is about 3.957 hours (32.4364 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec) with the AOPWIN (US EPA, 2011).

If released to air, a vapor pressure of 4.18E-021 mm Hg at 25 deg C (4.18E-021 mm Hg   is equivalent to vapour pressure of 5.57E-019 Pa) indicates significant amounts of Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate are unlikely to be present in the atmosphere for photodegradation and therefore Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight.
