Urban Air Transect Study To Investigate Urban Areas As Sources Of PCDDs And Pcdfs To The Environment

Description:
An urban air transect study was undertaken in Oklahoma City, OK, to investigate whether urban areas represent sources of dioxin-like compounds to the rural environment. This study proposed the hypothesis that the collective human activities characteristic of cities cause urban areas to behave as sources of dioxin-like compounds, and as such, contribute to the general atmospheric background levels of dioxin-like compounds observed in rural areas. To test this hypothesis, a study was designed and field sampling campaigns were conducted in December 2000 and December 2001.
This paper reports on the results of that study.
