Volatilization
The Henry's Law constant for dibenzofuran is estimated as 2.1X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 0.00248 mm Hg(1), and water solubility, 3.1 mg/l(2). This Henry's Law constant indicates that dibenzofuran is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(3). 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)(3) 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)(3) is estimated as 7 days(SRC). However, volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be attenuated by adsorption to suspended solids and sediment in the water column(SRC). The estimated volatilization half-life from a model pond is 82 days if adsorption is considered(4). Dibenzofuran's estimated Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). However, volatilization from moist soil surfaces is expected to be attenuated by adsorption to soil(SRC). Dibenzofuran is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(1).
Soil Adsorption
The Koc of dibenzofuran is estimated as 4,200(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.12(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that dibenzofuran is expected to have slight mobility in soil(SRC). Monitoring of dibenzofuran in contaminated groundwater beneath an abandoned creosote facility in Conroe, TX has suggested that leaching of dibenzofuran may be much more important than predicted from estimation methods, although soil from this location had a very low organic content and other co-contaminants present(4). Sorption of creosote compounds (including dibenzofuran) were measured on natural clayey till soil column(5); a Kd of 4.31 l/kg was measured for dibenzofuran (in the presence of other creosote compounds)(5).
