Abstract
A variety of organic compounds including alkanes (UCM), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 4,4′-DDE, long-chain alkylbenzenes (LABs), long-chain alkylnitriles (LANs), trialkylamines (TAMs), alkylphosphates (APs), and organotin derivatives (tributyl- and triphenyltin) have been determined in biotic and abiotic compartments close to an urban wastewater disposal site. The field apparent partition coefficients between particulate and dissolved seawater phases (K'd) and biota and water (Kb) of these organic contaminants were calculated in order to assess their fate in the marine environment.
