Description of key information

Additional information

The substance 4'-methylacetophenone has a relatively low log Kow value of 2.1. This indicates a low potential for adsorption to soil or suspended particles. The Koc can be predicted from the log Kow with a QSAR for non-hydrophobics: log Koc = 0.679 log Kow + 0.094 (Gerstl 1990). The calculated value is then 33.1 L/kg. According to the classification scheme proposed by McCall et al. (1981), the substance is highly mobile in soil. The Henry's Law constant that can be calculated from the available information on vapour pressure and water solubility shows that the substance moderately evaporates from water surfaces under vigorous mixing conditions.
