The solubility of benz[a]anthracene (1) in seawater (2) at 298 K has been reported in two works.
The value reported by May et al. was derived from several measurements using the Setschenow equation and is consistent with the recommended value for the solubility of benz[a]anthracene in pure water. Therefore their value is adopted as tentative. The value of Krasnoshchekova et al. appears slightly low and is considered doubtful.
