Abstract

A dynamic multimedia model with 2-dimensional spatial resolution, POPsME (Persistent Organic Pollutants in Multimedia Environments), was evaluated by comparing predicted relative concentrations with those measured. A total of 12 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were tested (phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, chrysene, benz (a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, and indeno(1,2,3-c,d)pyrene). The concentrations were measured in air particulates, water (dissolved phase and suspended solids (ss)), soil, sediment, and leaves of Pinus koraiensis and Prunus serrulata at seven sites in the Seoul and neighboring area (150km x 150km), Korea.
