d Vapor pressure and aqueous solubility at 298 K except where noted. For solids and gases the values are
for the subcooled liquid state (Ambrose and Ghiasse, 1987; Cal, 2006; Helburn et al., 2008).
e Verschuren (1983), Schwarzenbach et al. (1993), and Montgomery (1996).
f Values for pentachlorophenol are for the solid species.
g For nitrophenols the values are for subcooled liquid species at 293 K (Schwarzenbach et al., 1988).
Values of log K ow are for the neutral species.
h Values for solids and gases are for subcooled liquid state at 298 K (Mackay et al., 1992; Schwarzenbach
et al., 1993; Sarraute et al., 2008).
