TI  - Volatilization of weathered chiral and achiral chlordane residues from soil.

AB  - To mitigate the impact on the environment of persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs), we must understand thoroughly their environmental fate. Residues of many 
      of these pollutants are still present in soil years after their legitimate uses 
      were banned. In this report, the volatilization of one such persistent pollutant, 
      chlordane, from a field where it was applied approximately 40 years ago, is 
      examined in detail overthe course of several years. Ambient air samples were 
      collected at three heights above the treated soil throughout the investigation. 
      Air samples were also collected at several background sites in Connecticut for 
      comparison. Analysis of these samples shows that chlordane volatilization from 
      soil continues to occur long after initial application, at rates dependent on 
      both temperature and cultivation of the soil. Comparison of relative 
      concentrations and enantiomeric profiles for components of technical chlordane in 
      atmospheric samples from a variety of sources suggests a regional, urban input of 
      chlordane to the ambient air over Connecticut, possibly related to the widespread 
      termiticidal use of chlordane in home foundation soils.
