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 (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.
238)	Value given here as quoted by Gharagheizi et al. (2010).
247)	Calculated using a combination of a group contribution method and neural networks.
249)	Yaffe et al. (2003) present QSPR results calculated with the fuzzy ARTMAP (FAM) and with the back-propagation (BK-Pr) method. They conclude that FAM is better. Only the FAM results are shown here.
250)	Value from the training set.

The numbers of the notes are the same as in Sander (2023). References cited in the notes can be found here.
