The sorption of three nitrogen-heterocyclic compounds (acridine, biquinoline, and dibenzocarbazole) on 14 soils and sediments with a wide range of properties was examined. The compounds produced linear sorption isotherms (K/sub p/ = C/sub s//C/sub w/). When sorption was expressed on a constant organic carbon basis (K/sub oc/=K/sub p//organic carbon). The K/sub oc/ values obtained were in good agreement with K/sub oc/ values predicted from K/sub oc/ - S and K/sub oc/ - K/sub ow/ relationships established for other classes of compounds. This study expands these relationships to include N-heterocyclics, particularly the lower, water soluble members of this family.
