Journal ArticleDOI
Universal predictive models on octanol-air partition coefficients at different temperatures for persistent organic pollutants.
TL;DR: Predictive models show that intermolecular dispersive interactions between octanol and solute molecules play a decisive role in governing KOA and its temperature dependence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airborne Precursors Predict Maternal Serum Perfluoroalkyl Acid Concentrations.
Colleen M. Makey,Thomas F. Webster,Jonathan W. Martin,Mahiba Shoeib,Tom Harner,Linda Dix-Cooper,Glenys M. Webster +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that airborne PFAA precursors were a source of PFOA, PFNA, and PFOS exposure in this population of participants in Vancouver, Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of polyurethane foam - air partition coefficients for semivolatile organic compounds as a function of temperature: Application to passive air sampler monitoring.
TL;DR: A relationship for log KPUF-air versus log KOA was shown to agree with a previous relationship based on only polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and derived from long-term indoor uptake study experiments, and the existing KOA-based model for predicting log KPD-air values is accurate.
Journal ArticleDOI
A rapidly equilibrating, thin film, passive water sampler for organic contaminants; characterization and field testing
TL;DR: EVA is a suitable polymer for passive sampling due to both its high affinity for organic compounds and its ease of coating at sub-micron film thicknesses on various substrates making EVA a potential multi-media fugacity meter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing levels of POPs in air over the South Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South America.
César Nicolás Pegoraro,César Nicolás Pegoraro,Tom Harner,Ky Su,Malisa Susana Chiappero,Malisa Susana Chiappero +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the concentration of PCBs, OCPs, and PBDEs in air remain elevated in the near-shore environment and then drop-off substantially beyond a distance of about 400km, which has implications for the loading of POPs and delivery to the marine environment in thenear coastal zone.
