Aquatic Fate Process Data for Organic Priority Pollutants

摘要

Equilibrium and kinetic constants for evaluating the transformation and transport in aquatic systems for 114 organic chemicals on EPA's priority pollutant list have been obtained from the literature and from theoretical or empirical calculation methods. Constants for selected physical properties and for partitioning, volatilization, photolysis, oxidation, hydrolysis, and biotransformation are listed for each chemical along with the source of the data. A discussion of the empirical relationships between water solubility, octonal-water partition coefficients, and partition coefficients for sediment and biota is presented. The calculation of volatilization rates for organic chemicals in aqueous systems also is discussed.
