Solubility of Benzo(a)pyrene & Other PAH's in Pure Water

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the difficulty in finding reliable sources for the solubility of Benzo(a)pyrene and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in pure water at standard temperature and pressure (STP). A participant expresses frustration over the lack of information in their SI Data book and seeks guidance. Another user provides a helpful link to a Toronto health document that includes relevant data on PAH solubility. The original poster later finds a paper that presents empirical solubility data rather than theoretical models, indicating a breakthrough in their search for accurate information. The exchange highlights the challenges researchers face in accessing specific environmental chemistry data.

Hello all,

I am struggling to find papers or textbooks that can give me the solubility (mg/L or similar) of Benzo(a)pyrene and other PAH's in pure water at STP...

Does anyone hava link they can direct me towards for this, my SI Data book has nothing on the solubility of PAH's.

Thanks-

Thank you :)

I found this paper not long after posting this, and it is still one of the only papers I can find actually stating PAH solubility in a manner that is not a theoretical model!

I much appreciate your assistance.
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
