Popis: It is suggested that sensing the fugacity of hydrophobic chemicals in aqueous systems by measuring their concentrations in an equilibrated air headspace can provide valuable information about the nature and extent of interactions between the chemicals and dissolved and particulate phases present in the water. An experimental air-water closed system is described into which sorbing materials can be titrated and the fugacity response determined by continuous air circulation with periodic gas sampling and GC analysis.
