Description of key information

DT50: 34.13 h (24 h day; OH-concentration: 0.5E+06 OH/cm³)(AOPWIN v1.92)

Additional information

No experimental studies investigating the phototransformation in air of ethylene diacetate (CAS 111-55-7) are available. Results from AOPWIN v1.92 indicate that ethylene diacetate is susceptible to slow indirect photodegradation in air. The estimated half-life for the reaction with OH-radicals is 34.131 h (24 h day; OH-concentration: 0.5E+06 OH/cm³). Nevertheless, ethylene diacetate is not expected to be present in the atmosphere in relevant amounts based on the and low volatilisation potential from water indicated by a Henry’s Law Constant of < 1 Pa m³/mole and a vapour pressure of 22.68 Pa.
