Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

- 105.9 d
Additional information
Direct photolysis should have only a minor effect on the atmospheric lifetime of dibromomethane due to its very low UV absorption at wavelengths > 290 nm. In the paper of Zhang et. al. kinetics of reaction of hydroxyl radicals with dibromomethane have been determined by discharge flow-resonance fluorescence method over the temperature range of 288 to 368 K. The tropospheric lifetime of dibromomethane has been estimated to be 0.29 years (105.9 days).These results are further supported by calculation of the rate constant for the atmospheric reaction between photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals and dibromomethane in the vapor phase using AOP Program v. 1.92 from EPISUITE v. 4.0.
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.
