“…Xylene isomers (xylenes), consisting of 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1 ,4-dimethyl benzenes, are added to water as emulsions (Meister 1986). The water solubility of the xylenes is approximately 200 mg/L (USEPA 1985;Jori et al 1986) with an estimated Kow of 1259 and Koc of 794 (Daniels et al 1985). Measured Kow values range from 588 to 1584 for 0-and mxylene, respectively (USEPA 1985).…”
