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 (2023) for further details.

Notes

1)	A detailed temperature dependence with more than one parameter is available in the original publication. Here, only the temperature dependence at 298.15 K according to the van 't Hoff equation is presented.
21)	Several references are given in the list of Henry's law constants but not assigned to specific species.
38)	Value at T = 303 K.
68)	Modarresi et al. (2007) use different descriptors for their calculations. They conclude that a genetic algorithm/radial basis function network (GA/RBFN) is the best QSPR model. Only these results are shown here.
187)	Estimation based on the quotient between vapor pressure and water solubility, extracted from HENRYWIN.
230)	Yao et al. (2002) compared two QSPR methods and found that radial basis function networks (RBFNs) are better than multiple linear regression. In their paper, they provide neither a definition nor the unit of their Henry's law constants. Comparing the values with those that they cite from Yaws (1999), it is assumed that they use the variant H_v^px and the unit atm.
238)	Value given here as quoted by Gharagheizi et al. (2010).
243)	Value from the training dataset.
244)	Calculated using the GROMHE model.
245)	Calculated using the SPARC approach.
246)	Calculated using the HENRYWIN method.
247)	Calculated using a combination of a group contribution method and neural networks.
259)	Value given here as quoted by Dupeux et al. (2022).
260)	Calculated using the COSMO-RS method.
