Persistent organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in air of the North Sea region and air-sea exchange
Original language description
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were studied to determine occurrence, levels and spatial distribution in the marine atmosphere and surface seawater during cruises in the German Bight and the wider North Sea in spring and summer 2009-2010. In general, the concentrations found in air are similar to, or below, the levels at coastal or near-coastal sites in Europe. Hexachlorobenzene and alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane (alpha-HCH) were close to phase equilibrium, whereas net atmospheric deposition was observed for gamma-HCH. The results suggest that declining trends of HCH in seawater have been continuing for gamma-HCH but have somewhat levelled off for alpha-HCH. Dieldrin displayed a close to phase equilibrium in nearly all the sampling sites, except in the central southwestern part of the North Sea. Here atmospheric deposition dominates the air-sea exchange. This region, close to the English coast, showed remarkably increased surface seawater concentrations.
