The vast majority of are generated under standard conditions: 20 °C in deionized or freshwater. Few empirically derived values are available for non-standard conditions. In this study, polyethylene (PE)-water partitioning coefficients () were experimentally determined for 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs, comprising 9 parent and 6 alkylated compounds) under three different temperature (10, 20, 30 °C) and salinity (0, 18 and 36‰) regimes, the values were found to correlate strongly with a variety of molecular parameters (, octanol-water partition coefficients (), molecular weight (MW) and molecular volume ()). The effects of temperature and salinity on the magnitude of were found to be substantial. For temperature, the values range between -0.005 and -0.023 log units per °C; these values indicate that every 10 °C rise in temperature would potentially decrease the by a factor of between 0.4 to 1.6. For salinity, the values range from 0.0028 to 0.0057 log units per unit ‰, indicating that an 18‰ increase in salinity would likely increase the by a factor of between 0.28 and 0.82. Moreover, temperature and salinity were shown to be independent of each other and non-interacting. Temperature effects were chemical-specific and moderately dependent on hydrophobicity (expressed as the ), whereas salinity effects were independent of hydrophobicity. We also assessed the combined impact of temperature and salinity, which showed increasing effects with the hydrophobicity of the PAHs studied. Based on the results, values adjusted for site-specific temperature and salinity can be calculated. The impact of applying such site-specific values was demonstrated using a PE-based field monitoring dataset for PAHs from coastal waters of Grand Isle (LA, USA) collected during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. When values were adjusted to 10 °C and 30 °C, the final freely dissolved concentrations () decreased or increased depending on the adjustment. Use of the results of this investigation allow for adjusting existing PE-based datasets to site-specific conditions resulting in more accurate values for estimating exposure and adverse ecological effects.&lt;/p&gt;

There is a continued need for information about the impacts and long-term effects of the disaster on the Gulf of Mexico. The objectives of this study were to assess bioavailable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the coastal waters of four Gulf Coast states that were impacted by the spill. For over a year, beginning in May 2010, passive sampling devices were used to monitor the bioavailable concentration of PAHs. Prior to shoreline oiling, baseline data were obtained at all the study sites, allowing for direct before and after comparisons of PAH contamination. Significant increases in bioavailable PAHs were seen following the oil spill, however, preoiling levels were observed at all sites by March 2011. A return to elevated PAH concentrations, accompanied by a chemical fingerprint similar to that observed while the site was being impacted by the spill, was observed in Alabama in summer 2011. Chemical forensic modeling demonstrated that elevated PAH concentrations are associated with distinctive chemical profiles.&lt;/p&gt;
