Atmospheric concentrations of chlordane at Mould Bay, N.W.T., Canada

摘要: Abstract Chlordane and nonachlors isomers in the range 0.1 – 1.8 pg/m 3 were measured Canadian Arctic June-July 1984. Implications regarding input to biota are discussed. Long transport of air pollution remotest parts globe is no longer surprising most atmospheric scientists. Pollution from mid-latitudes has been detected for a number years 1 . The detection chlorinated pesticides hydrocarbons fauna 2 Antarctic naturally prompted suspicions long-range airborne pollutants as possible source. In this paper, we will report gas phase chlordane at Mould Bay, Northwest Territories, Canada during summer Bay isolated 12 person meteorological outpost on Melville Island (76.5°N, 118°W). haze monitored site since 1979 4 5 It believed that quite representative archepelago general, little difference concentrations sulphate aerosol seen between Alert Igloolik, N.W.T.
