In recent studies, pesticides such as atrazine have been found in precipitation. Therefore volatilization and subsequent transport in the gaseous phase is an important environmental pathway. Vaporization rates of pesticides deposited on surface of soil and plant leaves depend on the physical-chemical properties of the substance. A useful physicochemical criterion is Henry s constant, Ku, which is defined as the equilibrium air-to-water partial pressure ratio of the substance (see Chapter 7).
