Atmospheric organochlorine pesticide (OCP) levels in a metropolitan city in Turkey
Chemosphere, 2011
Air concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were measured at four different sites in Bursa, Turkey to determine current levels. For this purpose, about 35 samples were collected from June 2008 to June 2009 using a high volume air sampler (HVAS) equipped with particle and gas-phase units. Ten OCP compounds (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta-hexachlorocyclohexane, Heptachlor epoxide, Endrin, Endosulfan beta, Endrin aldehyde, p,p 0 -DDT and Methoxychlor) were reported within the scope of this study. The average concentrations of total (particle + gas) P OCPs were 550.9 ± 277.6 pg m À3 (coastal), 1030.7 ± 453.5 pg m À3 (urban/traffic), 519.7 ± 277.5 pg m À3 (semi-rural) and 722.8 ± 351.8 pg m À3 (urban/residential). The individual OCP concentrations were in line with reported concentrations. The maximum particle and gas-phase concentrations were determined for Endosulfan beta and beta-HCH for all sites, respectively. Available gas/particle partitioning models were applied in order to investigate the compatibility of the experimental data and the significant relationships were observed.
