Evaluation
Quantitative solubility data for fluoranthene (1) in water (2) have been reported in the publications listed in Table 1. No data have been reported on the solubility of water in fluoranthene.

The original data in all of these publications are compiled in the Data Sheets immediately following this Critical Evaluation. They are also summarized in Table 2. The values at 298 K are in reasonable agreement given the low solubility and the average value is Recommended. The remaining data are regarded as Tentative only.
