mVOC Specific Details

Volatilization
The Henry's Law constant for formic acid is 1.67X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that formic acid 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 150 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 1100 days(SRC). Formic acid's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). The potential for volatilization of formic acid from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 42.6 mm Hg(3).

Soil Adsorption
The Koc of formic acid is estimated as 1(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.54(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that formic acid is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The pKa of formic acid is 3.75(4), indicating that this compound will primarily exist in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).
