Atmospheric deposition of toxic pollutants to the Great Lakes as measured by the integrated atmospheric deposition network
Article Abstract:
A study of air pollution data over the Great Lakes region as collected by the Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network showed atmospheric loading of pollutants to the Great Lakes consisted of seven organochlorine pesticides, four polychlorinated biphenyl species, four polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and four trace metals. Loading rates of the different compounds were not determined since atmospheric loading was equal to air-water equilibrium.

Temporal trends in gas-phase concentrations of chlorinated pesticides measured at the shores of the Great Lakes
Article Abstract:
Regulatory controls on pesticides proved effective in reducing the concentration or organochlorine pesticides in the environment as evidenced by the temporal trends in gas-phase concentrations of chlorinated pesticides at the shores of the Great Lakes. The atmospheric half-lives of the hexachlorocyclohexanes was found to range from 2.2 yr for gamma-HCH at Lake Michigan to 7.3 yr for gamma-HCH at Lake Ontario.
