  Henry's Law constant

 

The estimated Henrys Law Constant (25 deg C) measured by calculation from EPI SuiteTM v4.1, HENRYWIN v3.20 Program was 1.54E-004 atm-m3/mole (1.56E+001 Pa-m3/mole). This is Exposure Assessment Tools and Models made from EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).

    

Distribution modelling.

 

Alcohols, C12-14 has no affinity to be in air and sediment. The direct emissions to soil and surface water are significant, therefore Alcohols, C12-14 will be almost exclusively be found in soil and surface water.

Mackay fugacity modelling (level 3) indicates that, taking into account degradation and using inflow parameters which are consistent with the known production tonnage of this substance in, fugacity coefficient indicates that environmental concentrations in water are predicted to be 1.95e-010 (atm), in air (atm) 2.37e-011 and soil 6.36e-010 (atm) and sediment to be  1.5e-010 (atm).

These are negligible low levels. This can be considered a worse case prediction as it assumes all product is emitted with no emission control systems used.

 

 

   

Other distribution data

 

The results suggest for Alcohols, C12-14 that direct and indirect exposure from distribution in media is unlikely.

Based on low vapor pressure and low estimated log Pow, expected to partition to water and soil. Not expected to partition to air, sediments or biota.

 

Therefore testing for distribution in media does not need to be performed.

 

The estimated STP Fugacity Model and Volatilization From Water were measured by calculation from EPI SuiteTM v4.1 Program. This is Exposure Assessment Tools and Models made from EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) .
