PG - 3736-42 AB - Determination of polymer-water and dissolved organic carbon (DOC)-water distribution coefficients of very hydrophobic chemicals (log K0w > 6) is not straightforward. Poor water solubility of the test compounds complicates the spiking and analysis of actual freely dissolved concentrations. By dosing a system via a PDMS-fiber and monitoring the depletion in the polymer, spiking and analysis of concentrations in the aqueous phase are avoided, and sorption to the polymer and other hydrophobic phases can be determined easily and accurate. In this publication we report the determination of poly(dimethyl-siloxane) (PDMS)-water, and Aldrich humic acid-water distribution coefficients for six PAHs with log K0w values varying from 4.56 to 6.85. The distribution coefficients to a PDMS fiber llog Kf) and the DOC (log KDOC) range from 3.86 to 5.39 and 4.78 to 7.43, respectively. Even for the most hydrophobic compounds, the distribution coefficients show small standard errors (< or = 0.05 log units). Therefore, this method might be applied to determine sorption coefficients of numerous, even more hydrophobic compounds, to humic acids as well as other dissolved hydrophobic matrixes.
