| Photochemical degradation in air : |
Photolysis half-life in air:
2.6d - 21hr, based upon measured sunlight photolysis rate
constant in water adjusted for midda summer sunlight at 40°N
latitude in (low t1/2) and adjusted for approximate winter
sunlight intensity (higt t1/2).
Photooxidation half-life in air:
20.2hr - 2.02hr, scientific judgement based upon estimated rate
constant for reaction with hydroxyl radical in air.
