Temporal trends in and influence of wind on PAH concentrations measured near the Great Lakes

Article Abstract:

Researchers from Indiana University and the Illinois State Water Survey measured the temporal trends in polyaromatic hydrocarbon concentrations from samples taken from three sites at the Great Lakes' Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network.

Temporal and spatial trends in a long-term study of gas-phase PCB concentrations near the Great Lakes

Article Abstract:

Atmospheric temperature continues to be a significant factor in determining the gas-phase concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) over certain areas near the Great Lakes, at least according to a long-term study spearheaded by the Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network. The rate of atmospheric degradation of PCBs at Sturgeon Point, which is at Lake Erie, and at Sleeping Bear Dunes, which is at Lake Michigan, was determined to be a half-life of about six years.
