Guideline:
other: ECHA Guidance R.6
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The phototransformation in air of the substance was determined by calculation with the help of the computer program from US-EPA (EPIWIN software AOPWIN v1.92). This program estimates the gas-phase reaction rate between hydroxyl radicals and the desired chemical. Also the atmospheric half-live is automatically calculated.
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
not applicable
Specific details on test material used for the study:
CCCCNCCO
Estimation method (if used):
PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTION WITH OH RADICALS
- Concentration of OH radicals: 1.5 E6 OH/cm³
- Temperature for which rate constant was calculated: 25 °C
- Computer program: AOPWIN v1.92 by US-EPA (EPIWIN software)
Light source:
not specified
Details on light source:
Not applicable.
Details on test conditions:
The computer program estimates the gas-phase reaction rate for the reaction between the most prevalent atmospheric oxidant (hydroxyl radicals) and the desired chemical. For olefins and acetylenes the gas-phase ozone radical reaction rates are estimated as well. Additional information is given by the program if nitrate radical reaction will be important. The assumed average hydroxyl radical and ozone concentration are automatically used to calculate the atmopheric half-live for the chemical of interest.
Reference substance:
no
Remarks:

yes
Remarks:
scientifically accepted calculation method
Conclusions:
The study report describes a scientifically accepted calculation method for the phototransformation in air using the US-EPA software AOPWIN v1.92. No GLP criteria are applicable for the usage of this tool and the QSAR estimation is easily repeatable.
Executive summary:

The phototransformation in air of the substance 2 -butylaminoethanol was determined by the computer program AOPWIN v1.92 (EPIWIN software) of US-EPA (Chemservice S.A., 2018). The program estimates the gas-phase reaction rate for the reaction between the most prevalent atmospheric oxidant (hydroxyl radicals) and the relevant chemical (Concentration of OH radicals: 1.5 E6 OH/cm³ , 12h light day).

For the substance an overall gas-phase reaction constant (also called OH rate constant) of 91.2581E-12 cm³/molecules-sec (= 0.00000788469984 cm³/molecules-day) and an atmospheric half-life of 0.117 days (1.406 hours) was calculated. Neither an ozone reaction nor any nitrate radical reaction is important for the desired chemical.

Neither an ozone reaction nor any nitrate radical reaction is important for the chemical. No GLP criteria are applicable for the usage of this tool, but due to the fact that it is a scientifically accepted calculation method the estimations performed are reliable with restrictions and can be used for the chemical safety assessment.
