Conclusions:
1,2,3,4-Tetrahydronaphthalene is a highly volatile substance with a Henry's Law constant of 138 Pa m3/mol at 20 °C.
Executive summary:

The Henry's Law constant of 1,2,3,4 -tetrahydronaphthalene was measured at temperatures betwen 10 and 30 ºC with the EPICS method (the batch air stripping method was used as confirmatory).

The results indicate that this chemical is highly volatile with obtained values between 0.0007 and 0.0027 atm m3/mol (10 ºC to 30 ºC).

Description of key information

The experimental Henry’s Law constant of 138 Pa m3/mol at 20 °C indicates high volatility of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene from surface waters.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Henry's law constant (H) (in Pa m³/mol):
