Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Benzo[e]pyrene with Seawater
Components:
   (1) Benzo[e]pyrene; C20H12; [192-97-2]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Seawater; ; []  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Evaluator:
   D.G. Shaw, Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Alaska USA. December 1982.

 Critical Evaluation:
   The solubility of benzo(e)pyrene (1) in seawater (2) at 298 K has been reported in two works:

The two reported values are in fair agreement and therefore both are adopted as tentative at their respective salinities. Schwarz also provides data over the temperature range 282-303 K.
