Abstract
The hypothesis that dissolved organic carbon (DOC) enhances the
mass transfer of hydrophobic organic compounds from nonaqueous phase liquids
(NAPLs) into the aqueous phase above that attributable to dissolved molecular diffusion
alone was tested. In controlled experiments, mass transfer rates of five NAPLphase
PAHs (log KOW 4.15 5.39) into the aqueous phase containing different
concentrations
