| Volatilization | The Henry's Law constant for 3-ethylphenol is estimated as 1.1X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This value indicates that 3-ethylphenol will volatilize from water surfaces(2,SRC). 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) is estimated as approximately 37 days(2,SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec) is estimated as approximately 274 days(2,SRC). 3-Ethylphenol's values for vapor pressure(4) and Henry's Law constant(1,SRC) indicate that volatilization from dry and moist soil surfaces is possible, but not likely to be a major fate process for this compound(SRC).

| Soil Adsorption | The Koc of 3-ethylphenol is estimated as approximately 480(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 2.40(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 3-ethylphenol has moderate mobility in soil(SRC).
