| Volatilization | The Henry's Law constant for 2-octanone was measured as 1.88X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 2-octanone is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(2). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 5 hours(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 6 days(SRC). In water, 2-octanone had a measured volatilization flux of 40 g/min/sq m and a gas-film coefficient ratio of 0.554 at 20 deg C, indicating that volatilization from water does occur but that some attenuation of this process may be seen due to the gas-film interface(4). 2-Octanone's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). 2-Octanone is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC), based upon a vapor pressure of 1.35 mm Hg(3).

| Soil Adsorption | The Koc of 2-octanone is estimated as 460(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 2.37(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-octanone is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).
