Octanol−Air Partition Coefficient for Describing Particle/Gas Partitioning of Aromatic Compounds in Urban Air
Tom Harner,Terry F. Bidleman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, atmospheric concentrations and particle/gas partition coefficients were measured for PAHs, PCBs, and PCNs in urban Chicago during February/March 1995 and compared to the adsorption (Junge−Pankow) model, which utilizes the subcooled liquid vapor pressure as a fitting parameter, and the KOA absorption model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Octanol-air partition coefficient as a predictor of partitioning of semi-volatile organic chemicals to aerosols
TL;DR: In this paper, the octanol-air partition coefficient (KOA) was used as a direct descriptor of semi-volatile organic chemical (SOC) volatility and may be preferable to the use of the experimentally inaccessible subcooled liquid-vapor pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a Global Network for Persistent Organic Pollutants in Air: Results from the GAPS Study.
TL;DR: The Global Atmospheric Passive Sampling (GAPS) study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using passive samplers to assess the spatial distribution of persistent organic pollutants on a worldwide basis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in indoor dust in Ottawa, Canada: implications for sources and exposure.
TL;DR: House dust was analyzed from the family vacuum cleaners of 68 of the same 74 randomly selected homes, in Ottawa, Canada during the winter of 2002-2003 to give a clearer picture of sources of PBDE exposure in the home environment and suggest that dust could be a significant exposure pathway for some individuals, particularly children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using Passive Air Samplers To Assess Urban−Rural Trends for Persistent Organic Pollutants. 1. Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Organochlorine Pesticides
TL;DR: The results of this study demonstrated the feasibility of using such devices to determine air concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and to assess their spatial distribution for time-integrated samples.
