Method detection limit (MDL) in reagent water. Estimated quantitation limits for other matrices are 10 MDL in groundwater, 670-10,000 MDL in soil, and 100,000 MDL in nonaqueous wastes. 

Environmental Fate. Di-/ -oct Iphthalate partitions primarily to soils and sediment upon release to the environment. The compound is expected to be strongly sorbed to soil and sediment particulates therefore, it should have limited mobility (EPA 1979, 1992c). Biodegradation half-lives of 1-4 weeks have been estimated for aerobic surface waters and soils. Biodegradation also takes place in sediments half-lives under anaerobic conditions have been estimated to range from of 6 months to 1 year (Howard et al. 1991). The compound may also undergo photolysis in surface waters (estimated half-life of 144 days) and photooxidation in the atmosphere (estimated half-life of about 5-45 hours) (Howard et al. 1991). Di-n-octylphthalate may persist in sediments as a result of its limited rate of biotransformation and preferential partitioning to this medium. 

Exposure Levels in Environmental Media. All humans are exposed to at least low levels of chloroform via inhalation of contaminated air, and most humans are exposed by drinking contaminated water. Estimates from intake via inhalation and ingestion of drinking water, based on limited data, are available (see Section 5.5). Exposure from foods cannot be estimated, due to the lack of data. Current information on exposure to chloroform from water, air, and foods, especially for workers or people who live near manufacturing and use facilities, water and waste water-treatment plants, municipal and industrial... 

Surface Water. Estimated half-lives of chlorobenzene (1.0 tig/L) from an experimental marine mesocosm during the spring (8-16 °C), summer (20-22 °C), and winter (3-7 °C) were 21, 4.6, and 13 d, respectively (Wakeham et al, 1983). 

On the night of the accident, operators heard a screeching noise from the relief valve on one of the tanks. Unfortunately, the closed blowdown system had been taken out of service for maintenance. It was later established that while operators were on their shift change or on a break, someone disconnected a pressure gauge from the cover plate on one of the tanks and attached a water hose. A quantity of water estimated between 450 and 900 kg entered the tank and caused a severe upset and release of MIC vapor. With no means of notifying the public and evacuating the community, thousands were exposed to the vapor cloud, resulting in the deaths and injuries. 

For the following substances dissolving in water, estimate whether the dissolution is controlled by interface reaction or by mass transfer. 

Values of formation volume factor of water estimated using this correlation agree with the limited published experimental data to within one percent. 

Exercise 20-19 The heat of combustion of glucose(s) to C02(g) and H20(/) is 670 kcal mole-1, whereas that of 2-oxopropanoic acid(/) is 280 kcal mole-1. Neglecting the heats of solution of the compounds in water, estimate the energy of glucose(ag) + 02----> 2CH3C0C02H(ag) + 2H20(/).

Duplicate diet studies of people living in areas where exposure to lead from other sources is known to be low have provided some valuable information. The mean dietary lead exposure to women was estimated to be 0.31 mg/week and the mean lead exposure to children as 0.11 mg/week.12 These studies included the contribution from drinking water. In areas with elevated levels of lead in tap water, estimated lead intakes of both adults and children are found to be higher and, in a small percentage of cases, above the PTWI. 

Wear gloves and eye protection. The crystals can be swept up and discarded as for waste disposal. For spills of Diquat solutions, cover with a 1 1 1 mixture of sodium carbonate or calcium carbonate, clay cat litter (bentonite), and sand. Scoop into a container and add to a pail of water. Estimate the weight of Diquat in the spilled solution, and for each 0.1 g, add 2 g of potassium permanganate. Stir until dissolved and allow to stand at room temperature overnight. Reduce the excess permanganate with solid sodium bisulfite, and then decant the liquid to the drain with water. The residue can be treated as normal refuse.5... 

Surface water estimated t/2 = 9.9-32 d in surface waters at various locations in case of a first order reduction process t/2 = 3-30 d in rivers, t,/2 = 30-300 d in lakes and ground waters (Zoeteman et al. 1980) t,/2 = 25 d in spring at 8-16°C, 14 d in summer at 20-22°C and 12 d in winter at 3-7°C when volatilization dominates, and t/2 = 12.1 d and 12.0 d for experiments with and without HgCl2 as poison respectively in September 9-15 in marine mesocosm (Wakeham et al. 1983) t,/2 = 4320-8640 h, based on aerobic river die-away test data (Mudder 1981 quoted, Howard et al. 1991) and saltwater sample grab data (Jensen Rosenberg 1975 quoted, Howard et al. 1991) calculated t/2 = 10 d and 32 d concentration reduction between sampling points on the Rhine River and a lake in the Rhine basin, respectively (Zoeteman et al. 1980 quoted, Howard 1990) t,/2(aerobic) = 180 d, t/2(anaerobic) = 98 d in natural waters (Capel Larson 1995). 

Surface water estimated t/2 = 6.7-53 d in surface waters at various locations in case of a first order reduction process and t,/2 = 3-30 d in rivers, t,/2 = 30-300 d in lakes and ground waters (Zoeteman et al. 1980) t,/2 = 672-4320 h, based on estimated unacclimated aqueous aerobic biodegradation half-life (Howard et al. 1991).
