| Volatilization | Based upon a water solubility of 59 mg/L(1) and an extrapolated vapor pressure of 0.01 mm Hg at 25 deg C(2), the Henry's Law constant for butyl benzoate can be estimated to be 3.97X10-5 atm cu m/mole; a Henry's Law constant of this magnitude indicates that volatilization from environmental waters is possible, but should not be rapid(3). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep flowing 1 m/sec with a wind velocity of 3 m/sec) can be estimated to be about 33 hours(3,SRC). Volatilization half-life from an model environmental pond (2 meters deep) can be estimated to be about 20 days(4,SRC).
