12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Most hydrocarbon components of these substances will have little or no tendency to patition to air. The half lives for
degradation of these hydrocarbons by reaction with hydroxyl radicals, in the troposphere, under the influence of
sunlight, will all be less than one day, bij extrapolation from the data quoted by Atkinson. Accordingly, any
hydrocarbon material which does partition to air will be rapidly photodegraded.(Ref.: Atkinson, R., Gas-phase
tropospheric chemistry of organic compounds: a review, Atmos. Environ., vol 24 A, pp. 1-41, 1990
