Type: adsorption<br />

Media: water – soil<br />

Method: other: see reference<br />

Year: 1983<br />

Result: Benzene will be expected to exhibit very high to high<br />

mobility in soil and therefore may leach to groundwater.<br />

Koc: woodburn silt loam= 31.7–143.<br />

16–MAR–2004 (984) (1105)<br />

Type: adsorption<br />

Media: water – soil<br />

Method: other: calculation from water solubility<br />

Method: Using the equations of Kenaga E.E. & Goring C.A.I. In:<br />

Aquatic Toxicology ASTM STP707. Edited by J.C. Eaton et al.<br />

American Society for Testing and Materials, 1980, soil<br />

sorption coefficients Koc were predicted for compounds (e.<br />

g. benzene) whose water solubilities were known.<br />

Result: The soil adsorption coefficient was calculated for benzene<br />

to be 71 from a given water solubility of 1.78 mg/l,<br />

indicating that benzene is moderately to highly mobile.<br />

An experimental soil adsorption coefficient value of 83 was<br />

reported by Kenaga & Goring, 1980.<br />

According to a report in HSDB, 1993, this study was<br />

conducted in woodburn silt loam.<br />

Other studies have reported Koc values in this type of soil<br />

of 31 (Chiou C.T. et al. Envir. Sci. Technol. 17, 227–231,<br />

1983 cited in HSDB, 1993) and 31.7–143 (Sabljic A. J. Agric.<br />

Fd Chem. 32, 243–246, 1984 cited in HSDB, 1993).<br />

Type: adsorption<br />

Media: water – soil<br />

Method: other: adsorption tests with radioactive labelled test<br />

substance on aquifer material<br />

Result: The sorptive characteristics of benzene to two groundwater<br />

aquifer solids were studied. Log Koc values were between<br />

2.09 and 3.01 (Koc = 123–1023) being slightly dependent of<br />

the adsorbent mass.<br />

Test condition: Experiments were carried out in capped glass centrifuge<br />

tubes with two US American groundwater aquifer materials of<br />

following characteristics:<br />

sand 90.0% 70.4%<br />

silt 8.0% 24.0%<br />
