Summary
>90% radiolabel recoveries in 4 of 5 soils at 1:1 ratio
Fifth soil 86% recovery Predominately recovered from soil extracts and residue
Recovered 88 to 99% sorbed to soil at 1:1 soil solution rat 82 TBA reaches equilibrium in less that 3 hours
Less than 1 h in freeze-dried, activated sludge
Freundlich adsorption constants characterize 8-2 TBA as no (Koc > 4000) to slightly mobile (Koc 500 to 4000)
