Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

- Light source:
- other: high-pressure mercury arc lamp
- Light spectrum: wavelength in nm:
- 254
- Relative light intensity:
- 90
- Quantum yield (for direct photolysis):
- 0
- Transformation products:
- not specified
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- no
- Conclusions:
- Solid sodium azide is stable against photodegradation as the quantum yield after exposure to the full output of a high-pressure mercury arc lamp (254 nm) is 0.001.
- Executive summary:
Solid sodium azide is stable against photodegradation as the quantum yield after exposure to the full output of a high-pressure mercury arc lamp (254 nm) is 0.001.
- Endpoint:
- phototransformation in soil
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reliability:
- 4 (not assignable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- documentation insufficient for assessment
- Remarks:
- handbook data lacking methodological details
- Details on results:
- Since surface applied sodium azide is readily leached into soil, photodecomposition is not an important means of dissipation. In acid soils, sodium azide is readily converted to hydrazoic acid, which is highly volatile, moves readily through the soil, and can account for a major part of azide dissipation unless some type of vapor seal is employed.

In acid soils, sodium azide is readily converted to hydrazoic acid, which is highly volatile, moves readily through the soil, and can account for a major part of azide dissipation unless some type of vapor seal is employed.

Description of key information
Since surface applied sodium azide is readily leached into soil, photodecomposition is not an important means of dissipation. In acid soils, sodium azide is readily converted to hydrazoic acid, which is highly volatile, moves readily through the soil, and can account for a major part of azide dissipation unless some type of vapor seal is employed (WSSA 1983).
Solid sodium azide is stable against photodegradation as the quantum yield after exposure to the full output of a high-pressure mercury arc lamp (254 nm) is 0.001 (Betterton 2003).

Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
