Abstract
The environmentally relevant properties of 99 hydrocarbons, namely vapour pressure, water solubility, octanol—water partition coefficient, and Henry's Law Constant, are reviewed and tabulated. Simple correlations for these properties of aromatic and alkane hydrocarbons are derived as a function of carbon number and molar volume. Although the correlated values may contain errors exceeding an order of magnitude in 5% of the cases, the values will often be sufficiently accurate for environmental assessment purposes and can be used to check the reasonableness of reported experimental values.
