3. Repeat the calculations in Example 3.8, with same mass input for the Level I model, for benzene, lindane, and phenanthrene. See Table 2.3 for basic chemical properties and derive any partition coefficients that you need that are not presented in the table using the relationships presented in Example 3.8 or elsewhere in Chapter 3. Use this relationship to estimate Kx Ker=0.41* Key 1) Do calculations for three chemicals in Excel 2) Discuss how the results you obtain differ among these three chemicals 3) Given your results, does the assumption in Problem 2 above-that volatilization of lindane to the air can be ignored - seem reasonable? 4) What are the major properties of these chemicals responsible for these differences? EXAMPLE 3.8 Given that 100,000 kg of benzene is released into a six-compartment unit envi- ronment, we use the level I model to determine the equilibrium benzene concen- trations in the six-compartments with the characteristics listed below: M; (kg) X Properties of Assumed Evaluative Environment Compartment Vi (m) Pi (kg/m3) 1.
