Photolysis is considered not applicable for the naturally occurring species of iron (U.K. Environment Agency, Johnson et al. 2007). Anyhow phototransformation of metal species rather than photolysis should be considered as environmentally reversible light-induced speciation rather than cleaving of chemical bounds are relevant for metals.
The literature search revealed no evidence for phototransformation of iron species in soils. Light may however to some extend influence the oxidation state and the speciation of iron as such information exists from water in the environment and in laboratory experiments (see section on phototransformation in water). Nonetheless it is assessed that these processes are not relevant due to the low light penetration of soils.
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.
