Assessment of sorbent impregnated PUF disks (SIPs) for long-term sampling of legacy POPs
Jasmin K. Schuster, Rosalinda Gioia, Tom Harner, Sum Chi Lee, Knut Breivik and Kevin C. Jones
p. 71-78
- SIP disks are validated as passive air sampling medium for long-term deployment for legacy POPs (linear uptake phase >1 year for polychlorinated biphenyls, [similar]6 months for hexachlorobenzene).
Chiu-Wen Chen, Chih-Feng Chen, Cheng-Di Dong and Yao-Ting Tu
p. 105-115
- This study examines the composition and sources of PAHs in the sediment of Kaohsiung Harbor, and carries out quantitative source apportionment of PAHs using the source apportionment method, and principal component analyses with multivariate linear regression.
Perfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs) in wildlife from an urban estuary
Margaret D. Sedlak and Denise J. Greig
p. 146-154
- PFOS is identified in San Francisco Bay harbor seal serum and bird eggs at concentrations that in some instances exceed biological effects thresholds.
Amit Masih, Jamson Masih and Ajay Taneja
p. 172-180
- The present study has been ascertained in order to know the exchange of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from soil to air and vice-versa by determining their fugacity quotients in the north-central part of India.
Air quality assessment of benzo(a)pyrene from asphalt plant operation
Nigel Gibson, Robert Stewart and Erika Rankin
p. 233-240
- This study measures Benzo(a)pyrene/PAH from asphalt plants and compares site-based emission factors with US Environmental Protection Agency emission factors, and carries out impact assessments to determine asphalt plant contributions to ambient BaP concentrations.
