鈥淥ctanol is released to the environment as a natural constituent of plants and microbes. It may also be released to the
environment through effluents at sites where it is produced or used in perfumery, cosmetics, organic synthesis, solvent
manufacturing of high boiling esters, antifoaming agents and in food flavoring. Photolysis or hydrolysis of octanol is not
expected to be environmentally important. Octanol should biodegrade rapidly in soil and water. Differing estimates of Koc
indicate a wide range of adsorption characteristics for octanol and the mobility class in soil may range from low to high; it
may partition from the water column to organic matter in sediments and suspended solids. The potential for
bioconcentration of octanol in aquatic organisms is low. The volatilization half鈥搇ives from a model river and a model pond,
the latter of which considers the effect of adsorption, have been estimated to be about 1.8 and 82 days, respectively.
Octanol is expected to exist entirely in the vapor phase in ambient air. Vapor鈥損hase reactions with photochemically
produced hydroxyl radicals in the atmosphere may be important (estimated half鈥搇ife of 1.3 days). Physical removal from air
via precipitation has been shown to occur. The most probable human exposure to octanol would be occupational exposure,
which may occur through dermal contact or inhalation at places where it is produced or used. Common non鈥搊ccupational
exposures would include the ingestion of foods containing it.鈥?
