Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
The half-lives of selected constituents of Hydrocarbons, C14-C20, aliphatics, ≤2% aromatics were in the range 0.254-0.850 d. These values are largely below the trigger limit (2 days). Therefore, Hydrocarbons, C14-C20, aliphatics, ≤2% aromatics are not persistent.
Executive summary:

Hydrocarbons, C14 -C20, aliphatics, 2% aromatics are UVCBs. Therefore, the phototransformation in air was estimated from the AOPWIN v1.92 calculations of phototransformation of selected hydrocarbons likely to be constituents of Hydrocarbons, C14 -C20, aliphatics, 2% aromatics. The single representative hydrocarbons were selected among allt he classes and the whole carbon range of the category.

The phototransformation rate is in the range 12.59 -42.13 x 10-12 cm3/molecule/sec. The calculated half-lives are in the range 0.254 -0.850 d (3.047 -10.195 hrs). These values are largely below the trigger limit (2 days). Therefore, Hydrocarbons, C14-C20, aliphatics, 2% aromatics are not persistent.

Conclusions:
The half-life of icosane is 0.424 d. This value is largely below the trigger limit (2 days). Therefore, icosane is not persistent.
Executive summary:

The phototransformation in air was estimated from the AOPWIN v1.92 calculations of phototransformation.

The phototransformation rate is 25.24 x 10-12 cm3/molecule/sec.The calculated half-life is 0.424 d (5.085 hrs). This value is largely below the trigger limit (2 days). Therefore, icosane is not persistent.

Description of key information

This data is being read across from the source studies that tested hydrocarbons C14-C20 aliphatics, ≤2% aromatics and icosane based on analogue read across. The justification for read across is provided as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13.

The phototransformation rate for hydrocarbons C14-C20 aliphatics, ≤2% aromatics is in the range 12.59 - 42.13 x 10-12 cm3/molecule/sec.The calculated half-lives are in the range 0.254 - 0.850 d (3.047 -10.195 hrs).

Icosane half-life in air is 0.424 days. Therefore icosane is to be considered as not persistent in the atmospheric compartment (DT50 less than 2 days). 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Hydrocarbons, C14 -C20, aliphatics, ≤2% aromatics are UVCBs. Therefore, the phototransformation in air was estimated from the AOPWIN v1.92 calculations of phototransformation of selected hydrocarbons likely to be constituents of Hydrocarbons, C14 -C20, aliphatics, ≤2% aromatics. The single representative hydrocarbons were selected among all the classes and the whole carbon range.

 

The phototransformation rate is in the range 12.59 - 42.13 x 10-12 cm3/molecule/sec. The calculated half-lives are in the range 0.254 - 0.850 d (3.047 -10.195 hrs). These values are largely below the trigger limit (2 days). Therefore, Hydrocarbons, C14-C20, aliphatics, ≤2% aromatics are not persistent.

The phototransformation rate for icosane is 25.24 x 10-12 cm3/molecule/sec.The calculated half-life is 0.424 d (5.085 hrs). This value is largely below the trigger limit (2 days). Therefore, icosane is not persistent.
