TL;DR: New knowledge developed under the NCP on the sources, occurrence and pathways of contaminants (organochlorines, Hg, Pb and Cd, PAHs, artificial radionuclides) are highlighted and compelling evidence for close connectivity between the global emission of contaminants from industrial and agricultural activities and the Arctic is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal and spatial variabilities of atmospheric polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine (OC) pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Canadian Arctic: Results from a decade of monitoring
Hayley Hung,Pierrette Blanchard,Crispin J. Halsall,T. F. Bidleman,Gary A. Stern,P. Fellin,Derek C. G. Muir,Leonard A. Barrie,Liisa M. Jantunen,Paul A. Helm,Jianmin Ma,Alexei Konoplev +11 more
TL;DR: The Northern Contaminants Program (NCP) baseline monitoring project was established in 1992 to monitor for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Arctic air and results obtained in the past 5 years are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil-air exchange model of persistent pesticides in the United States cotton belt.
TL;DR: A fugacity-based, multilayered soil-air exchange model was used to predict temporal trends of chemical in air and soil resulting from reemission of soil residues to a presumed clean atmosphere (maximum emission scenario) and showed p,p'-DDE and toxaphene accounted for up to 50% of the observed air burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organochlorine pesticides and PAHs in the surface water and atmosphere of the north Atlantic and Arctic Ocean.

TL;DR: Air-water exchange gradients suggested net deposition for all compounds, though HCB was closest to air-water equilibrium, though it is suggested that samples from around 75 degrees N in the Greenland Gyre represented a combination of surface and older/deeper Arctic water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Residues of organochlorine pesticides in Alabama soils
TL;DR: Pesticide residues were not proportional to soil organic carbon content indicating that residue concentrations were a reflection of pesticide application history and dissipation rates rather than air-soil equilibrium.
