Lodge, K. AND P. Cook. PARTITIONING STUDIES OF DIOXIN BETWEEN SEDIMENT AND WATER: THE MEASUREMENT OF KOC FOR LAKE ONTARIO. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-89/502 (NTIS PB91146415), 1989.

Description:

A desorption experiment is described in which the sediment-to-water partition coefficient for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin is measured for a sample from Lake Ontario. fter a contact period of 4 days, the logarithm of the partition coefficient on an organic carbon basis, LogKoc, ranges from 7.25 to 7.59. nformation on the partitioning behavior of dioxin between water and dissolved or suspended matter derived from the sediment is provided.
