Volatilization | The Henry's Law constant for 4-acetylanisole is estimated as 8.9X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 4-acetylanisole 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 3 days(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 42 days(SRC). 4-Acetylanisole's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). 4-Acetylanisole is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 6.44X10-3 mm Hg at 25 deg C(3).

Soil Adsorption | A log Koc of 2.43 for 4-acetylanisole was measured in a black agricultural soil (silty loam, pH 5.86, 27.2% clay content, 4.78% soil organic matter, 4.01% water content) obtained from Northeastern China(1). This corresponds to a Koc of 270(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this Koc value suggests that 4-acetylanisole is expected to have moderate mobility in soil.
