PESTAB. A discussion is presented on the low water solubilities of organic compounds and the consequent undesirable properties, primarily bioaccumulation. Determination of solubility is made difficult by many factors that affect it. Examples from the literature were given in which tremendous variations in solubilities were reported. The presence of electrolytes, colloidal, micellular or particulate formation, variations in filtration or centrifugation all cause variations in results. A mathematical treatment of the solubility and partitioning coefficients is presented for polychlorobiphenyls. The mathematical relationship between water solubilities and bioaccumulation is also presented.
