ABSTRACT
If di-iso-amyl ether is released to soil, it will be subject to volatilization. Di-iso-amyl ether in surface water will be subject to rapid volatilization with estimated half-lives of 4.4 hr and 20 hr for volatilization from a river one meter deep flowing 1 m/sec with a wind velocity of 3 m/sec and a model pond, respectively. Di-iso-amyl ether may be resistent to biodegradation in environmental media based upon screening test data from studies using sewage inocula. If di-iso-amyl ether is released to the atmosphere, it will be expected to exist almost entirely in the vapor phase based on its vapor pressure. If di-iso-amyl ether is released to soil, it will be subject to volatilization based upon its estimated Henry's Law constant and vapor pressure. Di-iso-amyl ether may be resistent to biodegradation in environmental media based upon aqueous screening test data from studies using sewage inocula.
