Compartment<br />

Definition of Fugacity Capacities<br />

Definition of Z (mol/m3 Pa)<br />

Air 1/RT R = 8.314 Pa m3 /mol K T = temp. (K)<br />

Water 1/H or CS /PS CS = aqueous solubility (mol/m3 )<br />

PS = vapor pressure (Pa)<br />

H = Henry’s law constant (Pa m3 /mol)<br />

Solid sorbent (e.g., soil,<br />

sediment, particles)<br />

KPrS/H KP = partition coeff. (L/kg)<br />

rS = density (kg/L)<br />

Biota KBrS/H KB = bioconcentration factor (L/kg)<br />

rB = density (kg/L)<br />

Pure solute 1/PSv v = solute molar volume (m3 /mol)<br />

ronmental media, extreme care must be taken to avoid over- or underspecifying<br />

partition coefficients and to ensure that the ratios are not inverted.<br />

We have developed the capability of performing our first multimedia partitioning<br />

calculations. If we have a series of phases of volume V 1, V 2, V 3, and V 4, and we<br />

know the partition coefficients K 12, K 13, K 14, and we introduce a known amount of<br />
