The Fate of Persistent Organic Pollutants in the North Sea: Multiple Year Model Simulations of g-HCH, a-HCH and PCB 153
ISBN: 9783540681625 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are harmful to human health and to the environment. Their fate in the marine environment is not yet fully understood. An ocean model (FANTOM) has been developed to investigate the fate of selected POPs in the North Sea. The main focus of the model is on quantifying the distribution of POPs and their aquatic pathways. This is the first time that a spatially-resolved, measurement-based ocean transport model has been used to study POP-like substances, at least on the regional scale. The model was applied for the southern North Sea and tested by studying... Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are harmful to human health and to the environment.
