Abstract

The solubility, octanol/water partition coefficient (KOW) and adsorption on soils and lake sediments of several chemicals were determined. Correlations between adsorption (on an organic matter basis) and either solubility or KOW enabled estimates of adsorption to within an order of magnitude. Systematic differences in adsorption between the soils and lake sediments were observed. The implications of these differences are discussed.
