Summary
There has been an increasing interest in the effects of changes in the composition of the pore fluids on the sorptive process. This growing body of literature shows that the effective solubility of organic compounds is changed by the presence of other organic molecules. The presence of naturally occurring organic compounds has been shown to increase the solubility of a variety of organic pollutants including PCBs, PAHs, DDT, and others.
