Naphthalene, C1 - National Park Service

[867]. However, methyl and other alkyl
naphthalenes accumulate to a greater degree in fish
than naphthalene [366] (see bio.detail section
below for more detail).
The heavier (4-, 5-, and 6-ring) PAHs are more
persistent than the lighter (2- and 3-ring) PAHs,
such as all naphthalenes [796].

Water Data Interpretation, Concentrations and Toxicity (All Water
Data Subsections Start with "W."):
W.Low (Water Concentrations Considered Low):
No information found. Compare total naphthalenes to
naphthalene concentrations (see naphthalene entry).
W.High (Water Concentrations Considered High):
1-Methylnaphthalene was reported in process sewage and
production water samples from coal gasification plants at
concentrations ranging from 78 to 278 ug/L [766].
Methylnaphthalene (isomer not specified) concentration
reported at a municipal landfill was 0.033 mg/L (33 ug/L)
[766].
W.Typical (Water Concentrations Considered Typical):
The information presented below is for one representative
C1 naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene:
1-Methylnaphthalene was reported in an urban
snowpack in Michigan at concentrations ranging from
less than 0.05 to 0.177 ug/L [766].
