The 10 subsequent runs are represented by horizontal bars labeled by numbers with different sections. For each run the equilibration times were set to 30 min (first section of the bar), the extraction times for FS-PDMS fibers were 2 min (second section). Than the bars are split up into two subsections, the upper section represents the fiber desorption times (1.5 min) while the lower section depicts the GC run and GC oven cooldown times (9.8 and 2 minutes respectively). With the PrepAhead function engaged it is possible to overlap different processes to minimize the full analysis cycle times to the GC run times Figure S2: Calibration curves for biphenyl (a), diazinon (b), 2,4-dibromoaniline (c) and triphenyl phosphate (d). Exact aqueous concentration on the x-axis (ng mL-1) and the peak area on the y-axis. Figure S3: Comparison of total ion chromatograms (TIC) of the GC-MS analysis of SPME samples with (bashed line) and without (solid line) added DOC. Differences of peak areas correspond to a signal decrease of the spiked compounds due to the addition of DOC Figure S4: Extracted ion chromatograms from samples without (dashed line) and with (black line) added fulvic acid Figure S5: Log KDOC versus log KOW data for compounds that have been found in the literature (a) including pyrene and accordingly, the experimentally determined (b) solely for fulvic acids. Figure S6: Percentages of the amounts of test compounds sorbed to DOC at CDOC of 5 – 200 mg L-1. The bars from left to right correspond to CDOC of 5, 10, 50, 100 and 200 mg L-1. Figure S7: The measured log KDOC values for different DOC concentrations. The bars from left to right correspond to CDOC of 5, 10, 50, 100 and 200 mg L-1. Figure S8: Differences of the measured log KDOC values relative to the log KDOC average values over the 10 – 100 mg L-1 CDOC range. The bars from left to right correspond to CDOC of 5, 10, 50, 100 and 200 mg L-1. Figure S9: Percentages sorbed to DOC at CDOC range of 5 – 200 mg L-1 for test compounds where the sorbed amounts to DOC did not reach 10% at more than 3 DOC concentrations. The bars from left to right correspond to CDOC of 5, 10, 50, 100 and 200 mg L-1. Endo-I and endo-II stand for endosulfan-I and –II. Figure S10: The measured log KDOC values at CDOC range of 5 – 200 mg L-1 for test compounds where the sorbed amounts to DOC did not reach 10% at more than 3 DOC concentrations. The bars from left to right correspond to CDOC of 5, 10, 50, 100 and 200 mg L-1. Endo-I and endo-II stand for endosulfan-I and –II.
