 Notes:
   1  CV = coefficient of variation (= 100 S.D./mean).

 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A modification of the EPICS (Equilibrium Partitioning in Closed Systems) procedure was used for measuring Henry's law constants. A precise quantity of dichloromethane was injected into serum bottles which contained distilled water. The bottles were incubated for 18 - 24 hours  at four desired temperatures in a reciprocating shaker bath. The headspace concentrations of the EPICS bottles were measured using a gas chromatograph which was equipped with a flame ionization detector. The mean of the coefficient of  variation values was approximately 4.3 %.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Burdick & Jackson reagent, pesticide grade. Distilled in a glass set-up before use.
   (2) Distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
