Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Estimated using USEPA HENRYWIN v3.20 (October 2008). A range is provided given the results of two estimates; one using the Bond Contribution Method and one using the Group Contribution Method. HENRYWIN estimates the Henry's Law Constant of organic compounds at 25oC using the methodology originally described by Hine and Mookerjee (1975). The original bond contribution methodology was updated and expanded as described in Meylan and Howard (1991). For the group contribution method, HENRYWIN uses the original group contribution values as derived by Hine and Mookerjee (1975).
