MAJOR TRANSFORMATION PRODUCTS (distinguish between dark and irradiated samples)
- Range of maximum concentrations in % of the applied amount and day(s) of incubation when observed: 79% after 12 min. of irradiation, 81% after 35 min. of irradiation
Reference
First experiment: 98% degradation after 46 min (71% after 10 min, 89.1% after 21 min, 94.3% after 31 min). Second experiment: 91% degradation after 20 min (7.75% after 2 min, 35.3% after 4 min, 58.5% after 6 min, 66.9% after 8 min, 74.7% after 11 min, 83.4% after 15 min).
An additional experiment showed that degradation proceeds to a much greater extent in a deoxygenated medium (before photolysis: 1.38 ppm, after photolysis: 0.85 ppm, degasssed after photolysis: 0.054 ppm).
The major product has an adsorption maximum at approx. 260 nm. It was shown that this photoproduct of PNA resists further photodegradation as the percent conversion of PNA to product remains constant at approx. 80% after 12 min of photolysis. A further experiment showed 30% photodegradation after 24 h and very little degradation after 5 h with sensitization by 1.9 ppm humic acid.
Description of key information
Photodegradation in water is a relevant route for degradation of the substance in the environment.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in water:
- 8 min
Additional information
In the key study, the photodegradation of N-phenyl-1-naphtylamine in an aqueous solution was studied under natural sunlight as well as under laboratory conditions (Sikka et al. 1981). Photodegradation in sunlight is rapid and proceeds with a half-life of 5 to 8 min. The rate is, however, influenced by oxygen, and considerably enhanced rates are obtained in deoxygenated solutions. Photodegradation in aerated solutions appears to lead to one primary product which is relatively photostable and inert to sensitization by humic acid. Preliminary spectral data indicate that it may be the aniline adduct of 1,3-naphthoquinone.
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).
