mVOC Specific Details

Volatilization
The Henry's Law constant for formaldehyde is 3.37X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that formaldehyde is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water surfaces(2). Formaldehyde's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC). Formaldehyde is a gas under ambient conditions(3), therefore, volatilization from dry soil surfaces will occur(SRC).

Soil Adsorption
The Koc of formaldehyde is estimated as 8(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.35(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that formaldehyde is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Formaldehyde gas adsorbs on clay minerals to a degree at high gas concentrations which is an important quality in its use as a soil fumigant(4). In addition, formaldehyde may interact with humic substances in soil(5) resulting in decreased mobility.
