| 9:45 | Impact of
Intercontinental Atmospheric Transport of Lindane on the
North American Environment
- Jianmin Ma, EC [PDF 1,512Kb 31pps] Outcome: A newly detected atmospheric pathway for toxic chemicals has a substantial implication on the budget of toxic substances in North America. Toxic chemicals with a low level in the North American atmosphere but with substantially higher levels in Asia and Africa, combined with transpacific and transatlantic atmospheric transport events, e.g. of lindane, suggest that North America is likely sandwiched by Asian and West African outflows of these toxic chemicals. |
