A controlled field experiment (CFE) methodology with a filter/sorbent sampler was used to minimize artifact effects when measuring values of the gas/particle (G/P) partitioning constant (K(p), m(3) mug(-1)) for semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) in the atmosphere. CFE sampling was conducted at three different locations (Beaverton, OR; Denver, CO; and Hills, IA). Kp values were measured for a series of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), To examine the possible effects on the G/P partitioning of the amounts of organic material (om) phase, organic carbon (OC), and elemental carbon (EC) in the sampled particulate material, the measured Kp values were normalized by the aerosol mass fractions f(om), f(OC), and f(Ec) according to K(p)/f(om), f(om), and K(p)/f(EC). Using a log-log format, the resulting normalized values were all found to be more highly correlated with the subcooled liquid vapor pressure p(L)(0) than were the unnormalized K(p) values. For the PAHs, the oneparameter model assuming K(p) = K(p,OC) f(OC) yielded only slightly less variability in the predicted Kp values than did the one-parameter model K(p) =(-)K(p,EC) f(EC). The twoparameter model K(p) = K(p,OC) f(OC) + K(p,EC) f(EC) was found to provide only small improvements over each of the oneparameter models. Overall,the data are more consistent with an absorptive mechanism of partitioning to the particulate material but do not rule out some role for adsorption to particle surfaces. The data suggest that small amounts of organic carbon (f(OC) similar to 0.02) can have significant effects on the G/P partitioning of SOCs.
