What Does HOC Stand For?
HOC stands for Hydrophobic Organic Compounds
HOC, or Hydrophobic Organic Compounds, refers to a class of organic molecules characterized by their low solubility in water due to their nonpolar nature. These compounds are significant in various fields, including environmental science, where they play a crucial role in the behavior of pollutants and their interactions with biological systems. Understanding HOCs is essential for developing effective remediation strategies and assessing the environmental impact of industrial processes.
