英文摘要 | High mountains may serve as condensers for persistent organic pollutants (PoPs) and the ice/snow core can provide long-term records of atmospheric deposition of pollutants. In this study, organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in firn core from Dasuopu Glacier were analyzed and the seasonal variation and deposition flux of these pollutants were investigated. PCB 28 was always detected in samples from different firn core layers and concentrations of PCB 28 were in the range of 0.09-0.3 ng/l. Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and total DDTs (p-p'-DDD and p-p'-DDT) were not always detected and were only present in some samples. No p-p'-DDE and hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) were detected above the level of determination limits. Concentrations of HCB ranged from 0.04 to 0.07 ng/l, and total DDTs were in the range of 0.15-0.3 ng/l. Total glacier PAHs was below 26 ng/l. The levels of OCPs and PAHs in Dasuopu glacier were roughly similar to values from the European mountain areas but lower than those from Lys glacier (Italy) and glacier from Rocky Mountain. Hg concentration (2-35 ng/l) in firn core samples was higher than that of remote region of Arctic. PCB 28 didn't show obvious variation in different seasons, however for major PAH compounds higher values were observed in summer than in winter. With regard to Hg, it displayed winter maximum. Deposition flux of OCPs, PAHs and mercury showed similar results with maximum flux occurring in the 2000s. After 2000/2001, deposition flux decreased and reflected the possible decrease of emissions of these atmospheric pollutants in the adjacent region. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
