1. The fate and transport of chemicals in the environment is highly dependent on chemical natures and environmental conditions. A pharmaceutical company has accidentally released estradiol (E2) during the production procedures. The chemical structure of E2 is shown below and the physicochemical properties are as follows: Water solubility: 3.6 mg/L Solubility in solvent: high Vapor pressure: 6.4 x 10 mm Hg at 25 °C log Kow=4.01 HO H OH Please consider their physicochemical properties and then describe the possible fate and transport of this chemical when released into the environment.
