Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Henry's Law Constant (HLC) at 25 °C: 2.81E-04 atm*m³/mol = 28.5 Pa*m³/mol (Kieckbusch & King, 1979)

Using this HLC and the conditions indicated below the following half-lives for volatilization from rivers and lakes were calculated:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
An experimental Henry's Law Constant (HLC) of 28.5 Pa*m³/mol at 25 °C was reported from the EPI Suite v4.00 database. Taking this value, volatilization half-lives of 3.3 h and 127 h were estimated for a model river and a model lake, respectively.
