AB  - The freely dissolved concentration of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is one 
      of the most important parameters for risk assessment in aquatic environments, due 
      to its proportionality to the chemical activity. Chemical activity difference 
      represents the driving force for a spontaneous contaminant transport, such as 
      water-aquatic biota or water-sediment. Freely dissolved concentrations in 
      sediment pore water can be estimated from the concentrations in a partition-based 
      passive sampler equilibrated in suspensions of contaminated sediment. 
      Equilibration in the sediment/passive sampler system is slow, since 
      concentrations of most POPs in the water phase, which is the main route for mass 
      transfer, are very low. Adding methanol to sediment in suspension increases the 
      POPs' solubility and, consequently, the permeability in the water phase. The 
      resulting higher aqueous concentrations enhance POPs mass transfer up to three 
      times for investigated POPs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated 
      biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides) and shorten equilibrium attainment to less 
      than 6 weeks. The addition of methanol to the aqueous phase up to a molar 
      fraction of 0.2 changed the POPs equilibrium distribution ratio between sediment 
      and passive sampler by less than a factor of two. As a result, the pore water 
      concentrations of POPs, calculated from their amounts accumulated in a passive 
      sampler, are affected by methanol addition not more than by the same factor.
