Properties of Chemicals: Aqueous
Solubility
When a chemical is contacted with water for an extended
period of time, the chemical will enter the aqueous phase until
the water is fully saturated with that chemical.
= Maximum saturation concentration of A in water (mol/L
or g/L)
For solid chemicals:
For gaseous chemicals:
Larger nonpolar organic contaminants have lower aqueous
solubility.
Inclusion of polar groups (OH
-
, NH
2
-
)on the benzene ring results
in higher solubility in water.

Octonal-Water Partitioning
Large organic and highly
nonpolar compounds
(hydrophobic) prefer to
partition to octanol relative to
water and hence have a
correspondingly large value of
K
ow.
The less soluble a chemical is
in water, the more likely is to
sorb to the surfaces of
sediments (organic material).

Octonal-Water Partitioning
Laboratory procedure for measuring K
ow
:
1. Chemical is added to a mixture of pura octanol
(non-polar solvent) and pure water (polar
solvent).
2. Mixture is agitated until equilibriumis reached.
3. Mixture is centrifugated to separate the two
phases.
4. K
ow
is the ratio of the chemical concentration in
the octanol phase to chemical concentration in
the water phase.

Bioconcentration and Bioaccumulation
Bioconcentration: the uptake of toxic organics
through the gill membrane and epithelial tissue
fromthe dissolved phase.
Bioaccumulation: the total biouptake of toxic
organics by the organismfromfood items (fish
prey, sediment ingestion, etc.)
Biomagnification: circumstance where
bioaccumulation causes an increase in total body
burden as one proceeds up the trophic ladder
fromprimary producers to top carnivore.

Pollutant Interactions with Plants
Plants can serve as important living links between air,
water, and soil, and transfer pollutants between the
different media.
Interaction between air pollutants and vegetation occurs
on a regional scale, with pollutant concentrations in leaves
often being monitored to determine the level of air
pollution.
Plant uptake of pollutants from soil and water occurs on a
more local scale and has been studied for application in
phytoremediation, that is, plant-assisted remediation at
contaminated land sites.
