Volatilization | The Henry's Law constant for 1,2-butadiene is estimated as 0.097 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 1,2-butadiene is expected to volatilize rapidly 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 1 hour(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 70 hours(SRC). 1,2-Butadiene's estimated Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). The potential for volatilization of 1,2-butadiene from dry soil surfaces may exist based upon a vapor pressure of 1,260 mm Hg(3). |
Soil Adsorption | Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for 1,2-butadiene can be estimated to be 24(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,2-butadiene is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). |
