Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: the tropospheric lifetime of halides was estimated from their dissolution potential in the aqueous phase
- Short description of test conditions: experimental phase was conducted at various pH and temperatures
- Parameters analysed / observed: determination of the Henry's law solubility (H) and hydrolysis rate (Khyd) and product H*khyd
GLP compliance:
not specified
Estimation method (if used):
PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTION WITH OH RADICALS: Not used, it is predicted to be negligible
DT50:
>= 5 - <= 10 d
Test condition:
Estimated minimum lifetime from tropospheric cloud processing. Determined at 278K.
Remarks on result:
other: Using Henry's constant of 1 M/atm. as maximum value
Reaction with:
other: cloud liquid water
Remarks on result:
other: khyd: > 5 and <500 sec-1

The tropospheric lifetime for COF2 was determined to be 0.5 - 3 days, using hydrolysis rate range 5 < khyd < 500 sec-1 and at a temperature of 278K.

Whend considering cloud formation probabilities, the lower limit for the lifetime would be 5 -10 days.

Conclusions:
The tropospheric lifetime of Carbonyl fluoride derived from in cloud heterogeneous removal was estimated to be 5-10 days.
