 abstract = {Particle size is an important parameter in terms of human health
effects, fate and transport of pollutants associated with particulate
matter (PM). Persistent organic pollutant (POP) (i.e., PAHs, PCBs,
PBDEs, and OCPs) concentrations were measured on fine (d(p) < 2.5 mu m)
and coarse (2.5 mu m < d(p) < 10 mu m) aerosol samples collected at two
(Urban and Industrial) sites in Izmir, Turkey. POP concentrations were
similar to 2 times higher at the Industrial site due to the local
sources (i.e., scrap processing iron-steel plants, ship-breaking
activities, a petroleum refinery, and a petrochemical plant) that were
recently shown to be hot spots emitting these pollutants. The size
distribution of particle-phase POPs indicated that they were mostly (>
50%) associated with fine PM. The larger contribution of all POP
compounds to fine PM could be attributed to the higher sorption capacity
of fine PM because of its relatively higher organic matter content
compared to coarse PM. Fine PM fraction of POPs significantly increased
with octanol-air partition coefficient (K-OA) (p < 0.01) since larger
K-OA values favor the partitioning of POPs to PM. Relationships between
fine PM percent and meteorological parameters (i.e., temperature and
wind speed) were also investigated. Fine PM percent decreased with
temperature and the correlations were significant for 51% of the
compounds (p < 0.01), suggesting that the decrease in K-OA with
increasing temperature results in less partitioning to PM. Fine PM
fraction also decreased with wind speed (p < 0.01 for the 52% of the
compounds) that could be attributed to increased resuspension of
contaminated coarse particles with increasing wind speed. Using the
experimental deposition velocities reported for several POPs in the
study area it was shown that dry particle deposition velocity
significantly decreases with increasing fine PM fraction (p < 0.01).
This indicates that the increase in fine fraction of POPs with
decreasing volatility may have important implications for their
environmental fate and transport.},
