Data Identification

Abstract: This project involves the measurement of organic contaminants in Arctic air. The measurement of amounts and types of contaminants involves collecting large volumes of air through filters which are then analyzed in a laboratory. Results are used to support chemical risk assessment and risk management under international control agreements and to test atmospheric models that explain the movement of contaminants from sources in the South to the Arctic. Through IPY, the Little Fox Lake station restarted in the summer of 2007 for measurement of organic pollutants in air. Semi-volatile organic contaminants (SOCs) were measured using 3 methods: (1) Weekly (7-day integrated) high volume air sampling using one glass fiber filter and two polyurethane foam (PUF) plugs giving concentrations in picogram per cubic meter (July 2007 - August 2009) (2) Three-month integrated passive air sampling using PUF-based samplers giving air concentrations in picogram per cubic meter (July 2007 - ongoing). (3) Monthly-integrated flowthrough air sampling using PUF giving air concentrations in picogram per cubic meter (August 2011 - ongoing).
Purpose: To measure air concentrations of semivolatile organic contaminants (SVOCs) to trace their transport pathways to the Arctic. To determine whether atmospheric concentrations and deposition of priority pollutants in the Arctic are changing in response to various national and international initiatives. To ensure the effective usage of information at the international negotiating table in order to achieve the appropriate restrictions on release of pollutants of concern for the Arctic environment.
