PCDD/F deposition time trend to Esthwaite Water U.K., and its relevance to sources

Article Abstract:

Esthwaite Lake in Cumbria, England was the site of a study conducted on the amount of PCDD/F emissions in the atmosphere attributed to industries such as metal smelting and refining, electricity generation and municipal waste incineration. Research showed that the PCDD/F deposition of the lake was impacted minimally by mining, iron smelting, charcoal burning and quarrying industries.

Further evidence for the existence of PCDD/Fs in the environment prior to 1900

Article Abstract:

Stored soil samples from he 19th and early 20th centuries have been analyzed by researchers at the Institute of Environmental and Natural Sciences in the UK, for the presence of PCBs and PCDD/Fs. PCBs were not found in samples before 1900, however, PCDD/Fs were found in varying concentrations, with the highest being found in the samples taken from the deepest point. Multiple charts and graphs illustrate the article's conclusions.

Atmospheric transport of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in air masses across the United Kingdom and Ireland: evidence of emissions and depletion

Article Abstract:

Researchers from Lancaster University, UK, measured the concentration levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxanes and dibenzofurans from samples of remote/rural European air using gas chromatography-high resolution mass spectometry.
