Partition coefficients of perylene, pbenanthrene and anthracene binding to the six fractions were determined by fluorescence quenching titration. The Kdo~ values obtained for the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) binding to the hydrophobic fractions were larger than those to the hydrophilic fractions. Nonlinear Stem-Volmer plots were observed when binding phenanthrene and anthracene to some hydrophilic fraction samples, suggesting saturation of polar interaction binding sites. A significant correlation of logKdo~ values with molecular weights and molar absorptivities at 280 nm was observed, while atomic ratio of C/t-I was found to be a poor indicator for aromaticity. Other structural descriptors such as paraffinic carbon and polarity influenced the DOM-fraction ability to bind PAHs.
