PCB and Organoclorine Pesticides at the Korean Arctic and Antarctic Research Station: Implication for Long-Range Transport
Entry ID: ECA015

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Air samplers for one year at the Korean polar research stations at Ny-Alesund, Norway (2005-2006) and King George Island, Antarctica (2004- 2005) were positioned to assess levels and patterns of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organo-chlorine pesticides (OCPs) in polar regions. The backward trajectories suggested that the Antarctic area was affected by long-range transport from source regions ... View entire text
