Abstract

Laboratory studies have determined air-water partition coefficients and mass-transfer rates of predominant organic pollutants. Results demonstrate the rapid volatilization of certain high molecular weight organic compounds from distilled water and seawater solutions. Behavior of these compounds can be interpreted in terms of the Whitman resistance model of mass transfer across the air-water interface.
