Volatilization
The Henry's Law constant for toluene is 6.64X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that toluene 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 2.9 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 3.8 days(SRC). Toluene's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). Toluene is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 28.4 mm Hg(3). The air-water interface equilibrium partitioning coefficient for toluene, at a concentration of 0.47 mg/L, has been reported to be 0.223, 0.226, 0.273, and 0.336 at 26.9, 31.9, 36.9, and 41.9 deg C, respectively(4). A first-order volatilization rate calculated for toluene from water using an inverse reactive simulation was reported as 6.62X10-6/sec(5). The volatilization half-life of toluene from a water column of one meter depth was estimated to be 5.18 hours(6). Toluene was reported to have a disappearance half-life of <2 days due to volatilization in two different soil types, a Captina silt loam and a McLaurin sandy loam(7).

Soil Adsorption
The Koc of toluene was reported as 178 in a sandy soil(1) and as 37 (Wendover silty loam), 160 (Grimsby silt loam), 160 (Vaudreil sandy loam) and 46 (sandy soil)(2). The Koc of toluene in lake sediment was measured as 166(3). According to a classification scheme(4), these measured Koc values suggest that toluene is expected to have high to moderate mobility in soil.

Literature: #In association with clay minerals, toluene's adsorption is inversely proportional to the pH of the soil. Approximately 40-70% of toluene applied to the surface of sandy soils is volatilized.
