- Environmental properties:
- No data
Results and discussion
Percent distribution in media
- Other distribution results:
- Henry's Law constant for methacrylonitrile was estimated to be 2.47 x 10-4 atm-cu m/mole. Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatization half-life from model river 1 m deep flowing at 1 m/s with a wind velocity of 3 m/sec was estimated to be about 5.3 h. For a model lake 1 m deep flowing at 0.05 m/s with a wind velocity of 0.5 m/s the volatilisation half-life was estimated as 4 days.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be an important fate process
