title: Investigations on the sorption of phenols to dissolved organic matter by a QSAR study.
abstract: The sorption of various phenols to Aldrich-HA and BSA was investigated by solid phase microextraction (SPME). The Aldrich-HA sorption with log K(DOC)-values between 2 and 3 was determined, whereas the sorption to BSA with log K(DOC)-values between 2 and 6 was much stronger. To enable an estimation of sorption constants a QSAR model was investigated. The linear free energy relationship (LFER) model showed a good correlation between the sorption constants and the log K(OW)-values with correlation coefficients of R = 0.910 and R = 0.878 for Aldrich-HA and BSA, respectively.
