Applications of the octanol–air partitioning ratio: a critical review
Sivani Baskaran, Frank Wania
Abstract
Although prediction methods exist for the partitioning between air and various environmental and biological phases, that do not depend on octanol, the K OA still serves a role as a single parameter quantifying compound volatility from different phases.
