The rate constants for the gas-phase reactions between methylethylether and hydroxyl radicals (OH) and methylethylether and chlorine atoms (Cl) have been determined over the temperature range 274-345 K using a relative rate technique. In this range the rate constants vary little with temperature and average values of kMEE+OH = (6.60-2.62+3.88) × 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 and kMEE+Cl = (34.9 ± 6.7) × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 were obtained. The atmospheric lifetimes of methylethylether have been estimated with respect to removal by OH radicals and Cl atoms to be ca. 2 days and ca. 30-40 days, respectively.
