Atlantic Ocean between the Arctic and Antarctica: the air-sea equilibrium of Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCHs)
Entry ID: ECA010

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Investigations were carried out to give evidence of POPs transport from the northern hemisphere to the southern. Investigations were carried out along transects from northern regions to the polar or sub-polar regions to reconstruct the trends in concentrations of POPs and to emphasize the potential contribution from the more anthropized regions. Transport processes were assessed on the base of ... View entire text
