©EPA Project Summary
Environmental Fate
Constants for Additional 27
Organic Chemicals Under
Consideration for ERA'S
Hazardous Waste Identification
Projects
Heinz P. Kollig
Under Section 301 of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA's) Office of Solid Waste is in the
process of identifying chemicals to be
considered in projects called the haz-
ardous waste identification projects. At
this time, there are more than 200
chemical constituents identified in
these projects. A previous publication
(EPA/600/R-93/132) addressed environ-
mental fate constants and chemical hy-
drolysis pathways for 189 organic
chemicals. This publication addresses
an additional 27 organic chemicals.
Chemical hydrolysis is addressed.
Sorption coefficients are presented. The
ionization constant is given when this
process affects sorption in the envi-
ronmental pH range. Additionally, val-
ues for water solubility, Henry's law
constant, vapor pressure, and diffusiv-
ity are reported.
This Project Summary was developed
by EPA's Environmental Research
Laboratory, Athens, GA, to announce
key findings of the research project
that is fully documented in a separate
report (see Project Report ordering in-
formation at back).
Synopsis of Report
Each chemical is structurally presented
and the potential for chemical hydrolysis
is addressed. Computed values for water
solubility, octanol/water partition coeffi-
cient, organic-carbon-normalized sedi-
ment/water partition coefficient, Henry's
law constant, vapor pressure, arid
dififusivity are given at 25°C. A short defi-
nition is given for each parameter. The
organic-carbon-normalized sediment/wa-
ter partition coefficient is given with con-
sideration of ionization if this process
occurs within the environmental pH range.
