Document Summary
In essence, the dissolved concentration at saturation b: solubility of a chemical determines how well it can dissolve in water or fish/aquatic, )ater has bent structure; is polar. Has the ability that has one negative/positive charge on either side life i. e. In the environment, there are two phases: i. ii. Organic: oil spill, fish, humans, )hen toxic chemicals are released in environment, they can be charged and dissolve in water and move around, and fish may more readily ingest them. If they don"t have the charges to be attracted to water, they will accumulate and move around, like oil spills, and sometimes fish ingest them g: octanol-)ater partition coefficient (cid:840)k ow (cid:841) Is a measurement we use in lab: k ow i. ii. Put ddt in water, overtime some ddt goes to octanol, some stays in water. Measures how much went to octanol, how much stays in water iii.
