| Volatilization | The Henry's Law constant for oleyl alcohol is estimated as 4.6X10-4 atm-cu m/mole using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that oleyl alcohol is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(2). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life of oleyl alcohol from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 8 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 7.4 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 163 days if adsorption is considered(3). Oleyl alcohol's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). Oleyl alcohol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 9.3X10-5 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(4).

| Soil Adsorption | Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of oleyl alcohol can be estimated to be 1.3X10+4(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that oleyl alcohol is expected to be immobile in soil.
