| Volatilization | The Henry's Law constant for octylaldehyde is 5.14X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that octylaldehyde 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 5 hrs(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 5 days(SRC). Octylaldehyde's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). The potential for volatilization of octylaldehyde from dry soil surfaces may exist based upon a vapor pressure of 1.18 mm Hg(3).

| Soil Adsorption | The Koc of octylaldehyde is estimated as 130(SRC), using a water solubility of 560 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that octylaldehyde is expected to have high mobility in soil.
