Volatilization | The Henry's Law constant for 1-tetradecanol is reported as 1.04X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 1-tetradecanol 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 17 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 10 days(SRC). However, volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be attenuated by adsorption to suspended solids and sediment in the water column. The estimated volatilization half-life from a model pond is 20-55 months if adsorption is considered(3). 1-Tetradecanol's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). 1-Tetradecanol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 1.1X10-4 mm Hg(4).

Soil Adsorption | Koc values of 18,197-26,303 were reported for 1-tetradecanol in humic acid(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this Koc range suggests that 1-dodecanol is expected to be immobile in soil. Koc values of 5248-12,882, 19,953-32,256, 23,320-64,060 and 44,136-70,202 were reported for 1-tetradecanol in activated sludge, sediment, suspended solids and suspended solids with activated sludge, respectively(1).
