Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
BUA report:
Irradiation of an aqueous PCA solution with light of wavelengths >290 nm (emission maximum 360 nm) led to a half-life of 7.25 h (Kondo et al., 1988) or to total disappearance of the substance after 6 h (Miller & Crosby, 1983). 4-Chloronitrobenzene and 4-chloronitrosobenzene were detected as primary degradation products. 4-Chloronitrobenzene was stable over the irradiation period of 20 h (Miller & Crosby, 1983). Furthermore, very short half-lives of 2 h (summer, 25 °C) and 4 h (winter, 15 °C) were measured in irradiation model experiments with sterilized natural river water (Hwang et al., 1987).
From this, it can be concluded that PCA in aqueous solutions is rapidly degraded by direct photolysis.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
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.
