The Henry's Law constant for dimethyl ether is estimated as 5.9X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) from its vapor pressure, 4450 mm Hg(1), and water solubility, 4.6X10+4 mg/l(2). This Henry's Law constant indicates that dimethyl ether is expected to volatilize rapidly from water surfaces(3). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the estimated volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(3) is approximately 2.4 hours(SRC). The estimated volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(3) is approximately 2.8 days(SRC). Dimethyl ether's Henry's Law constant(1,2) indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). Volatilization of dimethyl ether from dry soil surfaces is expected(SRC) based upon this compound's vapor pressure(1).

The Koc of dimethyl ether is estimated as approximately 27(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.10(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that dimethyl ether is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC).
