Description of key information
For the photochemical oxidative degradation of 2-chlorobenzonitrile an atmospheric half-life of 66 days can be calculated (AOP v1.91).
2-chlorobenzonitrile hydrolyzes in neutral anaerobic sediments with a half-life of approximately 160 days, but biological degradation processes could not totally be excluded in the experiment. The test substance is also transformed by hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid (HCl), caliumhydroxide (KOH), sodiumhydroxid (NaOH) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). A possible transformation product of basic and acidic hydrolysis is 2-chlorobenzoic acid.
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.
