Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Phototransformation in water (cited from the US EPA Document 1989): Based on the experimentally determined rate constant for the reaction of benzyl alcohol with alkylperoxy radicals, 2.4 L/mol-s (Hendry et al. 1974), and an estimated alkylperoxy concentration in water of 1 x 10-9 mol/L (Mill et al. 1980), the half life for phototransformation in water is 9 years. The half-life for the reaction of benzyl alcohol with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals in water can be estimated at ca. 100 days using experimentally determined rate constants (Dorfman & Adams 1973; Mill et al. 1980).
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.
