TI  - Atmospheric fall-out of POPs (PCDD-Fs, PCBs, HCB, PAHs) around the industrial 
      district of Porto Marghera, Italy.

AB  - In order to estimate the importance of atmospheric fall-out of persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) around the industrial district of Porto Marghera, Italy, 
      atmospheric depositions of POPs were collected using bulk samplers inside the 
      Lagoon of Venice. Seventy-seven atmospheric deposition samples were collected 
      monthly over a 12-month period (March 2003-March 2004) at seven sites located 
      close to the industrial area of Porto Marghera. Samples were analysed by 
      HRGC/HRMS for PCDD-Fs, PCBs, HCB and PAHs. Differences in mean daily fluxes of 
      all organic pollutants between industrial, urban and lagoonal stations were 
      clear, atmospheric depositions at industrial sites being higher than target 
      values for dioxin deposition recommended by the EU strategy on dioxins, furans 
      and polychlorobiphenyls. In order to calculate atmospheric loadings of POPs 
      around the industrial district, we considered an area defined by a distance of 10 
      km from the hypothetical centre-point of the main sources of atmospheric 
      emissions from Porto Marghera. The calculated loadings, compared with the 
      previous estimates, show that annual loadings of POPs are 12, 510, 90 and 130 kg 
      of PCDD-Fs, PCBs, HCB and PAHs, respectively, corresponding to 350-500 mg TEQ, 
      thus indicating a slight decrease in PCBs and a great decrease in HCB with 
      respect to 1998-99. The input coming from the atmosphere is of the same order of 
      magnitude of that due to the watershed runoff and approximately one-half of the 
      direct industrial discharges.
