1,2,3-trichloropropane

Phototransformation in air

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

phototransformation in air

Type of information:

(Q)SAR

Adequacy of study:

supporting study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with limited documentation / justification

Principles of method if other than guideline:

No guideline necessary, results obtained from modelling using EPIWIN V3.10

GLP compliance:

no

Estimation method (if used):

Estimation Programs Interface for Microsoft® Windows (EPIWIN V3.10, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, Washington, D.C.), Atmospheric Oxidation Program (v1.90) modeling component. Model executed on March 5, 2002.

Preliminary study:

The AOP component of EPIWIN was used to calculate the rate of photodegradation for 1,2,3-trichloropropane. The half-life was calculated to be 30.5 days. There is no absorption of solar radiation by 1,2,3-TCPa in the troposphere. Only indirect photolysis (reaction with OH) occurs. The overall rate constant (KOH) was determined to be 0.3511 x 10-12 cm3/molecule-sec. The half-life of 30.5 days is based on a mean hydroxyl radical concentration of 1.5E6 per cm3 over a 12-hour day.

DT50:

30.5 d

Test condition:

mean hydroxyl radical concentration of 1.5E6 per cm3 over a 12-hour day.

Transformation products:

not specified

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

The dissipation half-life of 1,2,3-trichloropropane calculated with the AOP component of the EPIWIN program is 30.5 days.
