Source apportionment and source/sink relationships of PAHs in the coastal atmosphere of Chicago and Lake Michigan
TL;DR: In this article, multivariate statistical techniques were used to investigate source apportionment and source/sink relationships for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the urban and adjacent coastal atmosphere of Chicago/ Lake Michigan in 1994-1995.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Adsorption of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate onto Sand, Clay, and Iron Oxide Surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, five materials were equilibrated with solutions of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) to characterize adsorption: kaolinite, Ottawa sand standard, synthetic goethite, Lake Michigan sediment, and iron-coated sand from Mappsville, VA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas-Particle Partitioning of PCBs and PAHs in the Chicago Urban and Adjacent Coastal Atmosphere: States of Equilibrium
TL;DR: The AEOLOS Project (Atmospheric Exchange Over Lakes and Oceans) as discussed by the authors was used to collect simultaneous air samples from Chicago and over southern Lake Michigan as part of the AEOLO project.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) in soils and groundwater of a U.S. metropolitan area: Migration and implications for human exposure
TL;DR: The results suggest that the transport of PFOS and PFOA is retarded in the vadose zone, but not in the aquifer, and the groundwater contamination ofPFOS andPFOA often follows their release to surface soils by years, if not decades; and the Aquifer can be a major source of exposure for communities living near point sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban Contamination of the Chicago/Coastal Lake Michigan Atmosphere by PCBs and PAHs during AEOLOS
TL;DR: The AEOLOS (Atmospheric Exchange Over Lakes and Oceans) Project as mentioned in this paper measured air concentrations of PCBs and PAHs in the urban/industrial complex of Chicago, IL, over southern Lake Michigan, and in a non-urban area.
