Half lifes for the direct and indirect photochemical degradation of Aniline in the atmosphere and the top layer of surface water are short. The assessment of photodegradation using AOP v1.92 revealed a half life of 3.6 hours for aniline in the atmosphere. Furthermore, under favoured light conditions, photolysis is an important elimination path near the water surface. The available studies show that aniline is photolytically degraded within about 4 to 11 h under spring or summer conditions in the top layer of surface waters. Based on the molecular structure, the substance is not expected to hydrolyse under environmental conditions. However, it was found that, regarding the total water body, biodegradation should be the major elimination pathway in the hydrosphere .
