英文摘要	Melting snowpack can release semi-volatile organic contaminants (SVOCs) to both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, resulting in high ecological risk. The dynamics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) released from snowpack under controlled laboratory (intense melting) and field (melt/freeze melyting) snowmelt experiments was investigated in this study. In the laboratory: Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) controlled the first flush of dissolved PAHs released from snowpack, except for napthelene, which is also affected by its solubility. The particles released early from snowpack usually contained high PAH concentrations (more than 100 μg g-1) and those released at the end contained low PAH concentrations (<20 μg g-1). The total PAH release pattern was determined by composition of all PAHs, including type 2 enrichment with a final peak and type 4 enrichment with double-peak. In field melting: All dissolved PAHs were released constantly, except naphthalene, which also showed a first flush but to a lesser extent. DOC controlled the release pattern of all detected dissolved PAHs from snowpack. High PAH concentrations were observed in particles released from snowpack at both the beginning and the end of the melting event. Concentrations of both total PAHs and PAH compositions in meltwater showed an increasing trend with melting time (from 1.3 to 4.0 μg l-1 and from 1.7 to 5.3 μg l-1 in meltwater from each of the two snowpacks), which coincided with Type 3 enrichment. Overall, our results suggest intense melting of snowpack results in the shift of some hydrophobic PAH compositions from Type 2 to Type 4 enrichment, depending on their partition coefficients. In contrast, melting with melt/freeze cycles may cause the shift of PAHs from Type 2 to Type 3 enrichment. Our study indicates changes of the melting scenarios due to global warming could affect dynamics of SVOCs released from snowpack, which is useful for risk management for water and soil quality. © 2020 The Author(s).
