Reevaluation of general partitioning model for sorption of hydrophobic organic contaminants by soil and sediment organic matter. Environ Toxicol Chem 18:1617–1626. Frank-Dieter Kopinke and Anett Georgi of the Department of Remediation Research, Center for Environmental Research, Leipzig, Germany, have graciously called to our attention errors in the paper named above [1]. In response, we provide these corrections. Table 2 has been revised and should replace that in the original paper. This version reflects corrections to columns 2 (log(γ*1)), 4 (R2), and 10 (σp) that rectify the inconsistencies in the data contained therein. Column 2 corrections were necessitated by a transfer of data error, column 10 includes a correction to the spreadsheet calculations for σp, and column 4 corrections result from a reevaluation of the isotherm least-squares fit analysis. Equation 3 should be X = n1/n3, where n3 = number of moles of solution. The units of ρo appearing in Equation 7 should reflect the density of organic carbon within the polymer (g organic carbon/cm3), rather than the density of the polymer (g/cm3). The elemental composition of cellulose noted in Table 1 should be C: 44.4%, H: 6.2%, and O: 49.3%, reflecting an O/C ratio of 1.11. This correction results in a reduction in the correlation between the literature solubility parameter and O/C ratio for each of the natural sorbents from 0.971 to 0.903 (correlation: σp 3.3273(O/C atomic ratio) + 9.711). The lignin identified in Table 1 should be noted as organsolv, rather than alkali. Table Table 2. (revised).
