- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
- Justification for type of information:
- QSAR prediction
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:

- Deviations:

- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- QSAR prediction, using the Atmospheric Oxidation Program (AOPWIN v.1.92 by US EPA)
- Estimation method (if used):
- The phototransformation in air of representatives hydrocarbons was calculated using the Atmospheric Oxidation Program (AOPWIN v.1.92 by US EPA), which estimates the rate constant for the atmospheric, gas-phase reaction between photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals and organic chemicals. The rate constants estimated by the program are then used to calculate atmospheric half-lives for organic compounds based upon average atmospheric concentrations of hydroxyl radicals and ozone.

- Validity criteria fulfilled:

- Conclusions:
- The direct aqueous photolysis of an organic molecule occurs when it absorbs sufficient light energy to result in a structural transformation. Only light energy at wavelengths between 290 and 750 nm can result in photochemical transformations in the environment, although absorption is not always sufficient for a chemical to undergo photochemical degradation. In general, most representatives of Naphtha (Fischer-Tropsch), light, C4-10 - branched and linear will not undergo direct photolysis. Saturated hydrocarbons, which constitute the majority of the test item, do not absorb appreciable light energy above 290 nm. Therefore, this fate process will not contribute to a measurable degradative removal of chemical components in this category from the environment. Direct photodegradation is not expected to play an important role in the environmental fate of Naphtha (Fischer-Tropsch), light, C4-10 - branched and linear. Indirect photodegradation via reaction with hydroxyl radicals may be important in the gas-phase degradation of the respective hydrocarbons that volatilize to the troposphere. An overall range of half-lives expected for individual components (linear hydrocarbons C4-C10) is 0.963 to 4.064 days.
- Executive summary:
The atmospheric oxidation potential (AOP) of the respective hydrocarbon compounds was estimated using AOPWIN (atmospheric oxidation program for Microsoft Windows), a subroutine in the EPI SuiteTM (US EPA, 2000) models and used by the US EPA OPPTS (Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxic Substances). This program calculates a reaction rate constant (cm3/molecules/sec) and a chemical half-life (hour or days) of a compound based upon average atmospheric concentrations of hydroxyl radicals and a 12-h day at 25°C.
The phototransformation rate range from 2.6322 x 10-12cm3/molecule/sec to 11.1105 x 10-12cm3/molecule/sec. The calculated half-life ranges from 0.963 to 4.064 days.

Description of key information
-AOPWIN calculations show that typical atmospheric hydroxyl radical reaction half-lives for the respective, linear hydrocarbons (C4 -C10) may range from 0.963 to 4.064 days.
-AOPWIN calculations show that typical atmospheric hydroxyl radical reaction half-lives for the respective, branched hydrocarbons (C4 -C10) may range from 0.939 to 4.38 days.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Indirect photodegradation via reaction with hydroxyl radicals may be important in the gas-phase degradation of the respective hydrocarbons that volatilize to the troposphere. An overall range of half-lives expected for individual, linear components is from 0.963 to 4.064 days and for respective, branched components is from 0.939 to 4.38 days, respectively. Finally, residence times in the atmosphere are relatively short.
The SRC AOPWIN program was used to obtain values of the rate constant kOH for reaction of each constituent of GTL Naphtha with hydroxyl radicals. The program outputs are used to calculate a weighted average value for each block based on the modelled composition of GTL Naphtha (Section 1.2). EUSES 2.1.2 calculates an overall half-life in air under default conditions of hydroxyl radical concentration, using the following expressions:
kdegair (d-1) = kOH(cm3/molecule-sec) x OHConcair (molec/cm3) x 24 x 3600
Half-life is then calculated as:
DT50(d) = ln 2/ kdegair (d-1)
Where:
kdegair= total rate constant for degradation in air
kOH= rate constant for reaction with hydroxyl radicals
OHConcair= concentration of hydroxyl radicals in air
DT50= half-life
