Using PUF disk passive samplers to simultaneously measure air concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) across the Tuscany Region, Italy
TL;DR: In this article, passive air samplers consisting of polyurethane foam (PUF) disks were deployed simultaneously over 2-4 month periods from April to July 2008 at 19 locations throughout the Tuscany Region at urban (n = 9), rural (n ≥ 7), and agricultural sites (n= 3).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hexachlorocyclohexanes and endosulfans in urban, rural, and high altitude air samples in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia: evidence for trans-Pacific transport.
TL;DR: High-volume air samples collected over the period Aug-30, 2001, in the Lower Fraser Valley were used to assess urban/rural differences of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) for ground level samples and to attempt to directly measure events of trans-Pacific inputs through the mid-troposphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the octanol-air partition coefficient and liquid-phase vapor pressure as descriptors for particle/gas partitioning using laboratory and field data for PCBs and PCNs
Renee L. Falconer,Tom Harner +1 more
TL;DR: The octanol-air partition coefficient (Koa) absorption model was proposed in this paper to reduce variability both within a compound class and between compound classes, and the Koa model is also preferred because it uses parameters that can be measured directly (koa and fom).
Journal ArticleDOI
Chiral pesticides as tracers of air-surface exchange

TL;DR: The enantiomers of chiral pesticides are selectively broken down in soil and water to yield residues and metabolites, which are non-racemic as mentioned in this paper, and the distinctive enantiomer signatures of residues are pr
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of polyfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in the atmosphere over the northeast Atlantic Ocean
TL;DR: In this article, high volume air sampling in Bermuda, Sable Island (Nova Scotia) and along a cruise track from the Gulf of Mexico to northeast coast of the USA, was carried out to assess air concentrations, particle-gas partitioning and transport of polyfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in this region.
