Principles of method if other than guideline:
The value was calculated using the Estimation Programs Interface (EPI) SuiteTM United States Environmental Protection Agency AOPWIN Program (v1.92). The estimation methods used by AOPWIN are based upon the structure-activity relationship (SAR) methods developed by Dr. Roger Atkinson and co-workers (Atkinson, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991; Atkinson and Carter, 1984; Biermann et al, 1985; Kwok et al, 1992, Kwok and Atkinson, 1995; Kwok et al, 1996). AOPWIN incorporates updated fragment and reaction values as cited in Kwok and Atkinson (1995). In addition, Syracuse Research Corporation has derived some additional fragment and reaction values from more recent experimental data.
GLP compliance:
no
Estimation method (if used):
AOP based on SAR methods developed by Atkinson.

Conclusions:
T 1/2 (atmospheric oxidation) for di-isopropyl ether is 5.274 h and for di-isobutyl ether 4.001 h
Executive summary:

The atmospheric oxidation half-lives were calculated to be 5.274 h for DIPE and 4.001 h for DSBE (AOPWIN v1.92).

Description of key information

Phototransformation in air T1/2 = 5.274 hours or 0.439 days (12 hrs daylight) for DIPE and T1/2 = 4.001 hours or 0.333 days (12 hrs daylight) for DSBE at 298 K (sensitizer: OH radical) (AOP win v1.92).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in air:
5.3 h

Additional information

A degradation rate constant with OH radicals of 24.3371 E-12 cm³ molecule-1 sec-1 at 25 °C and 1.5E6 OH/cm³ for DIPE and of 32.0784 E-12cm molecule-1 sec-1 at 25 °C and 1.5E6 OH/cm³ for DSBE was estimated using AOP win v1.92, based on SAR developed by Atkinson. Both DIPE and DSBE are expected to rapidly degrade in the atmosphere by hydroxyl radical attack.
