| Volatilization | The Henry's Law constant for thiophene is estimated as 2.9X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) from its experimental value for vapor pressure, 79.7 mm Hg(1), and experimental water solubility, 3,020 mg/l(2). This value indicates that thiophene will volatilize from water surfaces(3,SRC). 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) is estimated as approximately 3 hours(3,SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec) is estimated as approximately 89 hours(3,SRC). Thiophene's Henry's Law constant(SRC) and vapor pressure indicates that volatilization from moist and dry soil surfaces is important(SRC).

| Soil Adsorption | The Koc of thiophene is estimated as approximately 230(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 1.81(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that thiophene is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).
