Objective/Description:
Halogenated derivatives of aromatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons have
been widely used as heat transfer fluids, organic diluents, plasticizers,
fire retardants, pesticides, waxes, etc. However, recently it has been
pointed out that some of these or their related compounds, of both synthetic
and natural origin, can seriously interfere with reproductive function.
From the pharmaceutical and environmental viewpoints, the solubilities
of these substances are useful to elucidate the movement and persistence
in the environment and to estimate the hazard or risk associated with
them. Therefore it is important to evaluate the solubilities of, e.g.,
chlorinated benzenes, biphenyl and dioxins in various media including
single, binary and/or multi-component solvents, micellar solutions and
polymer solutions.
Progress:
At first, we started to compile the aqueous solubility data for
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) among the halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons,
because much attention has been paid to these chemicals as environmental
contaminants. We have also compiled the aqueous solubility data of PCBs
since 1949 and have started to evaluate them. So far, we have compiled
about 40 50 % of the solubility data including those of biphenyl
and have paid special attention to the solubility of chlorinated biphenyl
isomers.
