Sand 17%, Silt 62%,
Clay21%,pH5.3,OM
4.0%
m White Clay Creek sand
. Sand 98%, Silt 2%, pH 7.2, OM 0.4%
Mix for 15 m and 46 h, separate phases
Extracted with hexane from solid and water phases, SPE to clean, analyzed
At 15m
Good recovery (>90% of expected) of 8-2 TBA
from both soils
Recovered primarily from solid phase, except for <4% in solution of White Clay
a Poor recovery from control with no soil
s Recovered from both solution and tube
At46h
B Poor recovery from both soils
s White Clay <25% of expected s Keyport <75% of expected
Improved recovery from control with no soil
62% vs. 45% after 15 m
Losses due to volatilization, extraction inefficiencies,
transformations???

Hydroiytic reactions are one of the most common means of non-biological degradation of substances in the environment.
150 pg8-2TBAL-1, sterile conditions
pH 4, 7, 9 @ 50C
pH1.2@37C
Sealed glass vials with Alfoil liners
4 replicates at 0 and 5 days
- Extracted with MTBE
- Analyzed with GC/MS
8-2 TBA is hydrolytically (abiotically) stable
<10% change in concentration after 5 days compared to day 0

Measured vs. model values Telomer BA and BI
a High confidence in vapor pressure measurements and model estimates
a Low(er) confidence in water solubility estimates
Need to assess alternative models
8-2 TBA
a Hydrolytically stable
Soil/water partitioning studies may indicate strong adsorption to soils
Accelerated biodegradation studies show production of transformation products
a Volatilization is of concern
Need to develop and validate analytical methods in air
