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
