Gas-Particle Distribution and Atmospheric Deposition of Semivolatile Organic Compounds

  • Chapter
Municipal Waste Incineration Risk Assessment

Part of the book series: Contemporary Issues in Risk Analysis ((CIRA,volume 5))

Abstract

In the last two decades it has become clear that atmospheric deposition is a major input route of contaminants to the oceans, lakes, and remote continental regions of the world. “Acid rain” is now in school textbooks, but the public is less well acquainted with the aerial transport of metals and toxic organic chemicals. Popular accounts of this problem have appeared in “Discover” magazine (Brown, 1987), as part of a “National Geographic” feature on the Great Lakes (Cobb, 1987), and in the “Toronto Globe and Mail” (Fisher, 1988).
