Soil-water partition coefficients for organiccompounds
1993
In the frame of the project 'Setting environmental quality objectives',
organic carbon normalized partition coefficients (KocS) describing the
partitioning of organic chemicals in soils and sediments were derived
for, among others, halogenated biphenyls and benzyltoluenes, chlorinated
anilines and nitrobenzenes, various pesticides, phthalate esters and
organotin compounds. For that purpose a literature review with respect
to adsorption experiments with soils and sediments was carried out.
According to the equilibrium partitioning method the KocS can be used to
derive quality objectives for soils and sediments from ecotoxicologically
based quality objectives for water when toxicity data for soil or
sediment organisms are not available. Furthermore, the KocS can be used
to harmonize quality objectives for different compartments (soil,
sediment, interstitial water and surface water).
