Particulate and gas-phase PCBs and OH-PCBs in Chicago airAwad, Andrew Magdi 01 July 2015 (has links)
This study extends the work we have previously done by reporting on both gas-phase and particulate phase PCB concentrations in Chicago air as well as giving a first report on airborne OH-PCBs in Chicago. Gas phase PCB concentrations ranged from 43.1 pg/m³ to 2250 pg/m³, with an average concentration of 594 pg/m³ ± 445 pg/m³, and exhibited strong temporal trends. Particulate phase PCBs accounted on average for 4.3% of total PCBs in a sample. OH-PCBs were detected in both the gas and particulate phase and exhibit characteristics of either emission sources or atmospheric reactions depending on the congener.
