Abstract The mobility of a model macromolecule, blue dextran, was compared under laboratory conditions to the mobility of tritiated water through a sandy soil. The blue dextran eluted from the soil prior to the tritiated water. The phenomenon was compared to exclusion chromatography where molecules are separated by size with the largest eluting first and each molecule flowing through a different portion of the total porosity. When the soil was amended with a mixture of kaolinite and bentonite clay the porosity occupied by the macromolecule was decreased. The implications to hydrophobic chemical transport based on the presence and mobility of a macromolecule were evaluated from a theoretical basis. Macromolecules should increase the relative mobility of slightly mobile compounds more than they increase the relative mobility of highly mobile compounds. Very hydrophobic compounds should show greater mobility under natural conditions than predicted, ignoring the presence of dissolved organic carbon.
