3.2 MONITORING DATA (ENVIRONMENT)<br />
Medium<br />
other: drinking water<br />
Remark In a study on drinking water and waste water in Ohio (USA) during 1978-<br />
1980, DPG was found in samples of drinking water at concentrations<br />
between 0.2 and 0.4 ng/L.<br />

Medium other: effluent from waste water treatment plant<br />
A study on the priority pollutants found in the effluent of 5 paper mill waste water<br />
treatment plants in USA and Canada revealed a DPG concentration of 11 µg/l in<br />
the effluent of one of the plants. It was not detected in the influent stream nor in<br />
the untreated waste stream.<br />

The occurrence of DPG in ground water samples taken in the vicinity of a landfill<br />
in Norman, Oklahoma (USA) was demonstrated qualitatively in a study performed<br />
during 1972-1973.<br />

3.3 TRANSPORT AND DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL COMPARTMENTS<br />
INCLUDING ESTIMATED ENVIRONMENTAL CONCENTRATIONS AND<br />
DISTRIBUTION PATHWAYS<br />
3.3.1 TRANSPORT BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL COMPARTMENTS<br />
Type: Adsorption [X ]: Desorption [ ]; Volatility [ ]: Other [ ]<br />
Media: Water-Soil<br />
Method:Other<br />
Remarks: Due to lack of valid data, a rough estimation was made on the basis of a calculated<br />
range for the log P ow value of -0.69 to -1.486. These theoretical considerations<br />
lead to an expected range for the K oc value of DPG = 3.0 - 56.2.<br />
Reference:<br />
The tendency of DPG to adsorb onto soil must be regarded as very<br />
low.<br />
