Abstract
The effects of solids concentration on partitioning of PCBs between se diment and water was investigated using spiked, anaerobic and oxidized sediment. Particle interaction and third phase models were applied to the data. Solids dependent partitioning exhibited fundamental differe nces in spiked and field contaminated sediments. Furthermore, field co ntaminated sediments exhibited different solids dependent partitioning under anaerobic conditions than after oxidization for three months. T he implictions of these atypical effects of solids dependent partition ing for PCBs are discussed.
