On the Contribution of Biomass Burning to POPs (PAHs and PCDDs) in Air in Africa
Original language description
Forest, savannah, and agricultural fires in the tropics and subtropics are sources for widespread pollution and release many organic substances into the air and soil, including persistent organic pollutants, i.e., polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The significance of this source for the exposure of humans and the environment in Africa toward phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo(a)-pyrene, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-heptachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, and octa-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxin is studied using daily global emissions from vegetation fires observed by satellite and a global multicompartment chemistry-transport model. Near-ground atmospheric concentrationsof model-predicted vegetation fire related concentrations of PAHs and PCDDs were in the 10-1000 and 10(-5)-10(-3) pg m(-3) ranges, respectively. Vegetation fires in Africa are found to emit 180 +/- 25 kg yr(-1) of PCDD/Fs.
