| Abstract |
The report describes in detail a simple and cost-effective screening test for estimating an environmentally relevant maximum rate constant and minimum half-life for direct photoreaction of a chemical in the gas-phase in the troposphere. The report discusses the theory and development of the screening test and describes detailed procedures for measuring the cross section of a chemical in the gas-phase in the laboratory by spectroscopic techniques and data reporting for sections 4 and 5 of TSCA (Toxic Substance and Control Act.) Tables of solar irradiance (J(sub lambda)) are given from 0 degrees to 70 degrees North latitude in 10 degree increments as a function of season of the year to cover the continental United States and other parts of the U.S., such as Alaska and Hawaii. An example is given to illustrate the use of the experimental cross section data and solar irradiance data (J(sub lambda)) to estimate the maximum rate of direct photoreaction (kdE)max and the minimum half-life (t(sub 1/2 E) (sub/min). |
