Gas-film coefficients for the volatilization of ethylene dibromide from water

January 1, 1986

Gas-film coefficients for the volatilization of ethylene dibromide (EDB) and water were determined in the laboratory as a function of wind speed and temperature. The ratio of the coefficients was independent of wind speed and increased slightly with temperature. Use of this ratio with an environmentally determined gas-film coefficient for the evaporation of water permits determination of the gas-film coefficient for the volatilization of EDB from environmental waters.
