INTRODUCTION<br />

several studies observed those compounds predominantly in the g<strong>as</strong> ph<strong>as</strong>e (Peck <strong>and</strong><br />

Hornbuckle 2004; Xie et al. 2007).<br />

A substance is bioaccumulative with a log KOW value greater than 5 (UNEP 2010). On the<br />

b<strong>as</strong>is <strong>of</strong> this criterion, almost all substances <strong>of</strong> this study are <strong>as</strong>sumed to be bioaccumulative.<br />

Due to the amphipilic character <strong>of</strong> ionic PFCs it is not possible to determine their KOW.<br />

However, their potential <strong>of</strong> bioaccumulation h<strong>as</strong> been demonstrated (Conder et al. 2008).<br />

Table 4: Physico-chemical properties <strong>of</strong> semi-volatile <strong>and</strong> volatile PFCs, PBDEs <strong>and</strong> musk<br />

fragrances analysed in this study. MW: molecular weight, MP: melting point, VP: vapor<br />

pressure, KOW: octanol-<strong>water</strong> partition coefficient, KOA: octanol-air partition coefficient, SW:<br />

<strong>water</strong> solubility, kH: Henry’s law constant.<br />
