INPUT DATA SET
The following physico-chemical properties of ETBE were used:
Molecular weight  = 102
Data temperature  = 20 degrees C
Log Kow           = 1.48 (at 25 deg C; Montgomery, 1994)
Water solubility  = 23700 mg/l (2.37% w/w; 20 degrees C; Chatin et al., 1994) 
Vapour pressure   = 29800 Pa (temperature not known; IUCLID database)

Melting point     = -94 degrees C (EPIWIN database) 

The reaction half-life was set at negligible reaction in all compartments.   

LEVEL I RESULTS
The environmental distribution, as calculated from the above parameters using the Mackay Level I model (EQC program) is as follows:
To Air                96.2%
To Soil                0.098%

To Water        3.658%
To Fish                5.52E-06%
To Sediment        2.17E-03%
