Abstract

Abstract A thermodynamic model is presented for determining the distribution of pollutants in the various compartments of the global environment. The data needed to use this model are the vapor pressure, infinite dilution activity coefficient, Henry's law coefficient and/or solubility in water, and the octanol-water partition coefficient. It is only this latter quantity, which involves liquid-liquid equilibrium, that traditionally has not been measured by thermodynamicists. We also report infinite dilution and Henry's law coefficient measurements for some U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Priority Water Pollutants.
