TLDR
In this paper, the relationship between the environmentally relevant physical chemical properties of polychlorinated biphenyls, namely, aqueous solubility, vapor pressure, Henry's law constant, and octanol-water partition coefficient are discussed.
Abstract
Relationships between the environmentally relevant physical chemical properties of the polychlorinated biphenyls, namely, aqueous solubility, vapor pressure, Henry’s law constant, and octanol–water partition coefficient are discussed. Reported experimental data are tabulated and critically reviewed. Recommended values are given for 42 of the 209 congeners; however, procedures are suggested for estimating the properties of the other congeners. Properties of mixtures are not treated.

Semipermeable membrane devices containing model lipid: A new approach to monitoring the bioavaiiability of lipophilic contaminants and estimating their bioconcentration potential

TL;DR: In this paper, low-density polyethylene tubing containing thin films of model lipid may simulate the bioconcentration of nonpolar organic contaminants by aquatic organisms, and the feasibility of the SPMD approach for in situ monitoring of environmental contaminants is demonstrated by exposing SPMDs to AsanaR (an isomer of fenvalerate) in a littoral enclosure of a small pond.

A critical review of Henry's law constants for environmental applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the most significant factor influencing HLC values for a particular compound is temperature, where other parameters (pH, compound hydration, compound concentration, complex mixtures, dissolved salts, suspended solids, dissolved natural organic material [DOM], surfactants, and natural water sample composition) may also significantly affect HLC value.
