Conclusions:
Based on the Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model, the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No.615-66-7) is estimated. The half-life period of 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine in water is calculated as 37.5 days (900 hrs.) while in sediment it is calulated as 337.5 days (8100 hrs).
Executive summary:

Based on the Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model, the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound 2-chloro-p- phenylenediamine (CAS No.615-66-7) is estimated. If released into the environment, 21.2% of the chemical will be partitioning into the water according to the Mackay level III fugacity model having an estimated half-life of 37.5 days (900 hrs.). Based on this half-life it is considered that the substance will qualify as not persistent as the half-life does not exceed the threshold of 40 days (to qualify the chemical as persistent in water medium) as per Annex XIII of reach regulation and also it is considered that the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to low. Whereas the half-life period of 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine in sediment medium is estimated to be 337.5 days (8100 hrs). Therefore it is considered that the substance will qualify as very persistent as the half-life exceeds the threshold of 180 days (to qualify the chemical as very persistent in sediment medium) as per Annex XIII of reach regulation. However, as the percentage release of the test chemical into the sediment is reported as0.0965%, indicates that 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine is not expected to be persistent in sediment medium.
