Values in parentheses are based upon few data points (Fuller et al., 1966).

A correction has to be made to the sum in case of aromatic and heterocyclic rings are present.Ītomic and structural diffusion volume increments V B (m 3 mol -1 ) (Fuller et al., 1966).Ītom og andre strukturelle diffusions volume inkrementer V B (m 3 mol -1 ) (Fuller et al., 1966). Where ni is the number of atoms of kind i and VB,i is the volume increment cause by atom i. V B can be estimated from the chemical structure of the molecule using the increments listed in Table 1: The subscipts A and B in (B-1) refer to the air and the gaseous pesticide, respectively. K 1 = constant necessary to obtain the right dimensions. V = molar volume based on the method developed by Fuller et al. The FSG method is based on the following equation: Its accuracy is poorest for polar acids (12%) and glycols (12%) and minimal errors are found for aliphatics (4%) and aromatics (4%) (Lyman et al., 1982). It is most accurate for non-polar gases at low to moderate temperatures. The diffusivity of a gas in air can be estimated by the method of Fuller, Schettler and Giddings (FSG method) (Lyman et al., 1982).
