TI  - Distribution of PCNs, PCBs, and other POPs together with soot and other organic 
      matter in the marine environment of the Grenlandsfjords, Norway.
PG  - 274-83
AB  - The apparently dissolved concentration of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) and 
      three planar polychlorinated biphenyls (pPCBs) were sampled and analysed in the 
      water column of a marine fjord system. We also measured how much of these 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were associated with suspended particles. 
      The field observations showed that an unexpectedly high portion of the pollutants 
      were particle-associated. The factor of deviation from model predictions had 
      positive linear regression on the soot carbon:particulate organic carbon ratio of 
      the particles, and on estimates of the soot-water distribution coefficient for 
      the PCNs. The spatial distribution of surface sediment concentrations of PCNs and 
      polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were found to consistently follow the 
      sediment content of soot (f(SC)) to a larger extent than the bulk organic matter 
      (f(OC)). There were no systematic differences in the strength of correlation of 
      sediments concentrations of other POPs, i.e. octachlorostyrene and organochlorine 
      pesticides with sediment concentration to f(SC) and f(OC). Mechanisms possible of 
      generating these types of observations, e.g. adsorption to soot carbon in the 
      marine particle, are discussed.
