“…Similar DEHP concentrations from 0.5 to 5 ng m −3 have been detected in the Great Lakes [26] and in the Swedish atmosphere [54]. Moreover, DEHP were detected in relatively high concentrations near contaminated areas with levels of 29 -132 ng m −3 in Antwep, Belgium [75,76], 300 ng m −3 in City of Hamilton and Ontario, Canada [77], and 38-790 ng m −3 in Japan [78]. Hoff and Chan [79] reported mean DBP concentrations of 1.9 ± 1.3 ng m −3 in the vapor phase and 4.0 ± 2.2 ng m −3 in the particle phase along the Niagara River in Ontario, Canada.…”

Abstract.A number of studies have demonstrated that several classes of chemicals act as biologically relevant signalling substances.Among these chemicals, many, including PCBs, DDT and dioxins, are semi-volatile, persistent, and are capable of long-range atmospheric transport via atmospheric circulation. Some of these compounds, e.g. phthalates and alkylphenols (APs) are still manufactured and consumed worldwide even though there is clear evidence that they are toxic to aquatic organisms and can act as endocrine disruptors.Concentrations of NP, t-OP and NP1EO, DMP, DEP, DBP, BBP, and DEHP have been simultaneously determined in the surface sea water and atmosphere of the North Sea. Atmospheric concentrations of NP and t-OP ranged from 7 to 110 pg m −3 , which were one to three orders of magnitude below coastal atmospheric concentrations already reported. NP1EO was detected in both vapor and particle phases, which ranged from 4 to 50 pg m −3 . The concentrations of the phthalates in the atmosphere ranged from below the method detection limit to 3.4 ng m −3 . The concentrations of t-OP, NP, and NP1EO in dissolved phase were 13-300, 90-1400, and 17-1660 pg L −1 . DBP, BBP, and DEHP were determined in the water phase with concentrations ranging from below the method detection limit to 6.6 ng L −1 . This study indicates that atmospheric deposition of APs and phthalates into the North Sea is an important input pathway. The net fluxes indicate that the air-sea exchange is significant and, consequently the open ocean and polar areas will be an extensive sink for APs and phthalates.

“…Land derived dust, for example, from the region of the -58-Equatorial Atlantic, does not contain detectable amounts of pentadecane (Simoneit et al, 1977). Other workers have confirmed this finding by noting that all of the pentadecane in their atmospheric samples was in the vapor phase (Cautreels and van Cauwenberghe, 1978). The partition coefficient (Schwarzenbach et al, 1978) In situ biological production is another potential source.…”

“…clear aromatic hydrocarbons have produced widely varying results (Cautreels and Van Cauwenberghe, 1978;Thrane and Mikalsen, 1981;Dash and Guldberg, 1983;Schuetzle, 1983), owing at least partly to substantial differences in the temperature and vapor pressure history of the source samples taken during different studies. The temperature dependence of the ratio between vapor phase and particulate organics is pronounced even for moderate changes in temperature (Yamasaki et al, 1982).…”

A dilution stack sampler specifically intended to collect particulate matter. The special features of this sampler fine organic aerosol from combustion sources while miniare described in detail, and compared with other stack mizing sample contamination has been designed and sampling systems. The results of both laboratory and tested. The sampler simulates the cooling and dilution field tests of the system are discussed. Collection of processes that occur in the plume downwind of a comorganic aerosol using this sampler is compared with bustion source, so that the organic compounds which collection using EPA Method 5. condense under ambient conditions will be collected as
