TI  - Potential contamination of shipboard air samples by diffusive emissions of PCBs 
      and other organic pollutants: implications and solutions.
PG  - 3965-70
AB  - Air samples were taken onboard the RRS Bransfield on an Atlantic cruise from the 
      United Kingdom to Halley, Antarctica, from October to December 1998, with the aim 
      of establishing PCB oceanic background air concentrations and assessing their 
      latitudinal distribution. Great care was taken to minimize pre- and 
      post-collection contamination of the samples, which was validated through 
      stringent QA/QC procedures. However, there is evidence that onboard contamination 
      of the air samples occurred,following insidious, diffusive emissions on the ship. 
      Other data (for PCBs and other persistent organic pollutants (POPs)) and examples 
      of shipboard contamination are presented. The implications of these findings for 
      past and future studies of global POPs distribution are discussed. 
      Recommendations are made to help critically appraise and minimize the problems of 
      insidious/diffusive shipboard contamination.
