TL;DR: In the Netherlands, where land for disposal is scarce, the percentage of refuse which is incinerated has increased steadily from 15% in 1960 to 34% in 1978 as a replacement of l and f i l l (see Table I ) (I ).

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical equations relating solubility to octanol water partition coefficient are presented and used to develop a new correlation between these quantities which includes a melting point (fugacity ratio) correction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the kinetics of six chlorobenzenes in guppies were studied in an accumulation and elimination experiment, and a parabolic curve, with an optimum at log Poct ≈ 5.4, appeared to be a better description of the relation of the uptake rate constant with log poct, than a straight line.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and related compounds in the fly ash and flue gasses of some municipal incinerators in the Netherlands.

TL;DR: In this paper, a linear free energy relationship (LFER) was established for estimating alkaline hydrolysis rate constants for di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate esters in water.

TL;DR: The 309 organic compounds reported in the literature as emissions from selected combustion processes are tabulated, with 109 originating from coal combustion, 213 from waste incineration and 69 from coal/refuse combustion as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, food chain and sediment samples of three lake areas in Middle Finland have been analyzed for their chlorophenol contamination using twelve model compounds which are main residues of chlorobleaching and wood preservation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a correlation was developed from which the isomer solubility can be estimated from melting point and total surface area for chlorinated biphenyls, and the correlation was used to estimate the solubilities of chlorinated biclusters.

TL;DR: In this article, the fate and transport behavior of phthalate esters were assessed by using an evaluative model, the Exposure Analysis Modeling System (EXAMS), using environmental parameters representative of the Southeastern United States.

TL;DR: The bioaccumulation potential in bleaks and acute toxic and reproductive effects on Nitocra spinipes (Crustacea) was investigated and the fecundity of N. spinipes was reduced to 50 % of the control values at 37±6 and 54±4 μ g/l (II) per liter in static and continuous flow tests, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, a reversed phase high performance thin layer chromatography has been evaluated for determination of octanol-water partition coefficients (P oct ) of organic chemicals and best correlations between log P oct and R M -values were obtained on a C 18 -bonded stationary phase using acetone-water or acetonitrile-water mixtures as eluting solvent.

TL;DR: The sampling procedure of solid and gaseous pollutants, contained in flue gas emitted into the atmosphere by solid waste incinerating furnaces were investigated in this paper, where polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) were taken into particular consideration.

TL;DR: Isolation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) from sea mullet ( Mugil cephalus ) collected in the Brisbane River estuary indicated that these corresponded approximately to the Arochlor Grade 1260, although minor amounts of Grade 1254 were present as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the second-order alkaline hydrolysis rate constants for diaryl phosphate ester anions along with mono-and dianions were used to predict hydrolytic half-lives under reaction conditions that are characteristic of aquatic environments.

TL;DR: In this article, a well characterized bituminous coal was subjected to high temperature air oxidation and chlorination, and the reaction products were analyzed for chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
