Type

Table entries are sorted according to reliability of the data, listing the most reliable type first: L) literature review, M) measured, V) VP/AS = vapor pressure/aqueous solubility, R) recalculation, T) thermodynamical calculation, X) original paper not available, C) citation, Q) QSPR, E) estimate, ?) unknown, W) wrong. See Section 3.1 of Sander (2015) for further details.

Notes

3) Value given here as quoted by Fogg and Sangster (2003).
5) Value given here as quoted by Lide and Frederikse (1995).
92) Yaws and Yang (1992) give several references for the Henry's law constants but don't assign them to specific species.
96) The H298 and A,B,C data listed in Table 5.4 of Sander et al. (2011) are inconsistent, with 6 % difference.
97) The H298 and A,B,C data listed in Table 5.4 of Sander et al. (2006) are inconsistent, with 6 % difference.
98) It is unclear why the value given by Fogg and Sangster (2003) is about 3 times higher than that given by Lide and Frederikse (1995) (and others), even though both refer to .

The numbers of the notes are the same as in Sander (2015). References cited in the notes can be found here.
