Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- High impact polystyrene plastic formulated with DBDPEthane was ground. The powder was exposed to natural sunlight for up to 224 d by placing the powder in glass tubes on a rooftop. The tubes rotated throughout the day and were shaken by hand once per week. The powder was analyzed at intervals for DBDPEthane content.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Kajiwara et al. (2008) reported DBDPEthane did not undergo photodegradation when a pulverized high impact polystyrene resin containing the commercial product was exposed to sunlight irradiation for 224 days. This is a worst case scenario for photolysis-in-plastic given the plastic was ground prior to sunlight exposure and rotated throughout the 224 d sunlight exposure to ensure maximum exposure of the plastic particles to sunlight.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not applicable
- Conclusions:
- Kajiwara et al. (2008) reported DBDPEthane did not undergo photodegradation when a pulverized high impact polystyrene resin containing the commercial product was exposed to sunlight irradiation for 224 days. This is a worst case scenario for photolysis-in-plastic given the plastic was ground prior to sunlight exposure and rotated throughout the 224 d sunlight exposure to ensure maximum exposure of the plastic particles to sunlight.
