摘要:
Due to long equilibration times, growth of planktonic organisms significantly dilutes cell concentrations of adsorbed highly hydrophobic organic compounds(HOCs). Behavior of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in field samples of 0.2-2, 2-25, and >100 mu m particle size fractions confirmed this. The in-situ log K-oc values showed a near linear relationship with hydrophobicity (log K-ow) with a slope of 1.2 for the 0.2-2 mu m size fraction, whereas the in-situ log K-oc values remained within 1 log unit throughout the entire log K-oc interval for the 2-25 mu m size fraction. In the largest size fraction, there was a weak positive relationship between log K-oc and log K-ow with a linear regression slope of 0.28. The results imply that equilibrium concentrations in planktonic organisms cannot be used in food chain modeling. Observed high equilibrium log K-oc values relative to log K-ow values are discussed in terms of solute-solvent interactions in the octanol-water system as opposed to the organic carbon-water system in the field.
