Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

The photodegradation in water was calculated according to Lyman et al. (1981) to be 90.7 years. The degradation rate was 1.21 E-14 mol/L/s.

Not enough data is available for the assessment of the reliability.

Description of key information

The photodegradation in water was calculated for 2,4 - dichlorotoluene according to Lyman et al. (1981) to be 90.7 years. The degradation rate was 1.21 E-14 mol/L/s. This may only be seen as additional information, as the reliability cannot be assigned.  Reference: SIDS / Lyman (1995)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in water:
90.7 yr
