“…This is because the annual average temperature in Nanjing (16.4°C) is lower than that in Guangzhou (21.7°C), and the fraction of total-PCDD/Fs-WHO 2005 -TEQ in the particle phase in Nanjing (75%) is higher than that in Guangzhou (59%) (Chandra Suryani et al, 2015). Compared with previous studies, the scavenging ratios of total-PCDD/Fs-WHO 2005 -TEQ are similar to the typical ratio of semi-volatile organic compounds, which is between 10 4 and 10 5 (Eitzer and Hites, 1989;Tseng et al, 2014;Chandra Suryani et al, 2015).…”

Abstract.A number of studies have demonstrated that several classes of chemicals act as biologically relevant signalling substances.Among these chemicals, many, including PCBs, DDT and dioxins, are semi-volatile, persistent, and are capable of long-range atmospheric transport via atmospheric circulation. Some of these compounds, e.g. phthalates and alkylphenols (APs) are still manufactured and consumed worldwide even though there is clear evidence that they are toxic to aquatic organisms and can act as endocrine disruptors.Concentrations of NP, t-OP and NP1EO, DMP, DEP, DBP, BBP, and DEHP have been simultaneously determined in the surface sea water and atmosphere of the North Sea. Atmospheric concentrations of NP and t-OP ranged from 7 to 110 pg m −3 , which were one to three orders of magnitude below coastal atmospheric concentrations already reported. NP1EO was detected in both vapor and particle phases, which ranged from 4 to 50 pg m −3 . The concentrations of the phthalates in the atmosphere ranged from below the method detection limit to 3.4 ng m −3 . The concentrations of t-OP, NP, and NP1EO in dissolved phase were 13-300, 90-1400, and 17-1660 pg L −1 . DBP, BBP, and DEHP were determined in the water phase with concentrations ranging from below the method detection limit to 6.6 ng L −1 . This study indicates that atmospheric deposition of APs and phthalates into the North Sea is an important input pathway. The net fluxes indicate that the air-sea exchange is significant and, consequently the open ocean and polar areas will be an extensive sink for APs and phthalates.
