PCB congener data of gas-phase, freely-dissolved water, air-water fugacity ratios and air-water fluxes in Indiana Harbor and Ship Canal, IN, USA

Airborne measurements were obtained using polyurethane foam passive air samplers (PUF-PAS), while water measurements were obtained using LDPE. Both measurements were carried out simultaneously for ten consecutive periods, from November 2016 to October 2017, ranging from 21 to 62 days of deployment times, with an average of 35 days.

Effective volumes and fractions of equilibrium for PUF-PAS and LDPE, respectively, were calculated from previously published models and included here. Limit of detection from the PUF and LDPE for individual PCB congeners are included, together with the masses of the PCB congeners measured in the PUF and LDPE. Individual PCB congener fugacity air-water ratios are included, as well as air-water fluxes results.
