- Environmental Bioconcentration: Estimated bioconcentration factors ranging from 17500 to 51000(1,SRC) can be calculated for 1-tetradecene using appropriate regression equations(1) and its estimated water solubility, 4.0X10-4 mg/L at 25 °C(1,SRC) obtained from a vapor pressure of 1.5X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(2) and estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.48 atm-cu m/mole at 25 °C(3,SRC), and its estimated octanol/water partition coefficient, 7.3(1,SRC), obtained from its estimated water solubility. These values indicate that 1-tetradecene will bioconcentrate in fish and aquatic organisms(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: If released to soil, estimated soil adsorption coefficients ranging from 19,700 to 32,300(1-3,SRC) indicate that 1-tetradecene will be essentially immobile in soil(4). Its estimated Henry's Law constant, 8.48 atm-cu m/mole(3,SRC), indicates that 1-tetradecene may rapidly volatilize from moist soil to the atmosphere although expected strong adsorption to soil may attenuate the rate of this process(SRC). The vapor pressure of 1-tetradecene, 1.5X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(2) indicates that volatilization from dry soil to the atmosphere will be very slow. Pure culture studies indicate that 1-tetradecene has the potential to biodegrade in soil under aerobic conditions(5-10,SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: If released to water, estimated bioconcentration factors ranging from 17500 to 51000(1-3,SRC) indicate that 1-tetradecene will bioconcentrate in fish and aquatic organisms(SRC). Estimated soil adsorption coefficients ranging from 19,700 to 32,300(1-3,SRC) indicate that it will strongly adsorb to sediment and suspended organic matter(SRC). Its estimated Henry's Law constant, 8.48 atm-cu m/mole(3,SRC), indicates that 1-tetradecene may rapidly volatilize from water to the atmosphere. The estimated half-life for volatilization from a model river 1 m deep flowing at 1 m/sec with a wind speed of 3 m/sec is 4.1 hrs(1,SRC). Its expected strong adsorption to soil may attenuate the rate of this process. The estimated half-life for volatilization from a model pond, which takes into account adsorptive processes, is 7.3 months(4,SRC). Pure culture studies indicate that 1-tetradecene has the potential to biodegrade in water under aerobic conditions(5-10,SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: If released to the atmosphere, 1-tetradecene may undergo removal by gas-phase reactions with atmospheric oxidants. An estimated rate constant for the gas-phase reaction of 1-tetradecene with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals of 4.2X10-13 cu cm/molec sec(1,SRC) translates to an atmospheric half-life of 9.3 hrs using an average atmospheric hydroxyl radical concn of 5X10+5 molec/cu cm(1). An estimated rate constant for the gas-phase reaction of 1-tetradecene with ozone of 1.2X10-17 cu cm/molec sec(1,SRC) translates to an atmospheric half-life of 23 hrs(SRC) using an average atmospheric ozone concn of 7X10+11 molec/cu cm(1).
