Abstract: Assessing the bioavailability of a group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) coexisting in a field-aged contaminated sediment was examined using mild extractions by isopropanol- and ethanol-water solutions at ...

Abstract: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of hydrophobic organic contaminants which have low aqueous solubilities and are common pollutants in harbor sediments. Adsorption and desorption isotherms for PAHs are ...
