Test condition: Initial substance concentration: 100 ppm (=0.32 mg/l).<br />

Benzene exposed in a 20 l smog chamber filled with clean,<br />

dry air. Irradiation with light at a wavelength<br />

corresponding to tropospheric sunlight occurred for 6 days.<br />

No further details were available.<br />

Reliability: (4) not assignable<br />

15–MAR–2004 (184) (634) (827)<br />

Type: air<br />

Light source: other: mercury vapour lamp with a water–cooled quartz filter<br />

Light spect.: > 230 nm<br />

Conc. of subst.: .32 mg/l at 25 degree C<br />

DIRECT PHOTOLYSIS<br />

Degradation: = 31.5 % after 2 hour(s)<br />

Method: other (measured)<br />

Year: 1981<br />

GLP: no data<br />

Test substance: no data<br />

Result: Cited value of 100 ppm converted to 0.32 mg/l.<br />

68 ppm carbon dioxide and 121 ppm carbon monoxide (convert<br />

to 0.12 and 0.14 mg/l respectively) were detected. The<br />

half–life was not reported.<br />

German Rapporteur<br />

Test condition: Benzene exposed in a 4.4 l reactor for 2 hours. Carbon<br />

dioxide and carbon monoxide degradation products were<br />

measured by infrared–gas chromatography in the case of<br />

carbon dioxide or gas chromatography with a molecular sieve<br />

column ultrasound detector in the case of carbon monoxide.<br />

Reliability: (4) not assignable<br />

16–MAR–2004 (542)<br />

Type: air<br />

Light source: other: low pressure mercury lamp<br />

Light spect.: 254 nm<br />

Quantum yield: .05<br />

Method: other (measured): test in a free flow system<br />

Year: 1993<br />

GLP: no data<br />

Test substance: other TS: commercial product (purity 99.5%)<br />

Result: standard deviation: +/– 0.02<br />

quantum yield (185 nm): 0.01 +/– 0.005<br />

German Rapporteur<br />

Test condition: wavelength 254 nm: substance concentrations 0.13, 1.3 and 8<br />

hPa; NiSO4–filter to eliminate ca. 99% of the 185 nm<br />

radiation from the lamp<br />

wavelength 185 nm: substance concentrations 0.1 and 1.3<br />
