Abstract The report describes the development of structure/reactivity (S/R) relationships of Atkinson for the estimation of the 2nd-order rate constant k(OH) for the reaction of OH radicals with organic chemicals in the troposphere. These S/R relationships were used to estimate k(OH) at 298 K of 405 chemicals covering a variety of classes and compares them with the experimental values (% Error). Of the 405 chemicals, 20 had a % error > +100 and were omitted in the analyses. For the 385 remaining chemicals, the average % error ranged from +21 to -19. One hundred fifty-four chemicals were not used by Atkinson to derive the parameters in the S/R relationships and, therefore, were good candidates to test the validity of the S/R relationships. The average percent error of the 154 chemicals ranged from +24 to -20, thereby confirming the S/R relationships. A discussion is given on the estimation of the half-life of a chemical in the troposphere from k(OH) and the average OH concentration. The report represents the technical support document for a test guideline which can be used under section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act.
