| Abstract | Polycyclic musk compounds (PMC) are used as fragrances in cosmetics and detergents and enter rivers via domestic wastewater and sewage treatment plants. Soils can be contaminated by PMC through application of sewage sludge. Accumulation of PMC occurs in sediments and biota due to their persistence and lipophilicity. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is of special relevance for their transport and behavior in the environment as it acts as solubilizer and carrier in aquatic and terrestrial systems. With the distribution coefficient K$_{DOC}$, one can predict their affinity to DOM. Different approaches exist to determine K$_{DOC}$, resulting in a range of coefficients for a number of organic pollutants. The objective of this study was to determine K$_{DOC}$ values for PMC using solid-phase microextraction (SPME).A method to determine K$_{DOC}$ was customized and applied to five PMC. Sorption was analyzed using different concentrations of humic acid (HA) solutions and headspace SPME coupled with GC/MS/MS. HA represented DOM. Regarding sorption in soils, sediments, and sewage sludge, a large concentration range of HA solutions up to 660 mg L$^{−1}$ dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was chosen. Simultaneous determination of all components in a mixture was compared to experiments with single compounds. The method was matched using pyrene.Determined log K$_{DOC}$ values were between 3.32 and 3.67. Compared to experiments with single compounds, determination of the components in a mixture showed no significant difference. Verification experiments with pyrene revealed a close match between K$_{DOC}$ determined in the current study and K$_{DOC}$ literature data. K$_{DOC}$ values of most economical and environmental important PMC 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopenta[g]-2-benzopyrane (HHCB) and 1-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3,5,5,6,8,8-hexamethyl-2-naphthalenyl)-ethanone (AHTN) are comparable to but slightly lower than K$_{OC}$ values recently published. The greater K$_{DOC}$ for AHTN compared to the one of HHCB corresponds to greater amounts found in sediments. The large range in HA concentrations, allows for an assessment of PMC partitioning behavior in sewage treatment plants and soils contaminated with PMC.This method is applicable for semi-volatile substances. Since compounds have varying characteristics, this method has to be verified regarding specific parameters particularly kinetics. Suitability of this method should be tested for relevant PMC metabolites and to determine K$_{DOC}$ with natural organic matter from soils, rivers, sediments, and sewage sludge. This adapted method can be used to establish K$_{DOC}$ values for a variety of substances in a short amount of time and is applicable to environmental fate modeling and registration of chemicals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
