AB  - Soils have an important role to play in supplying and receiving contaminants from 
      the atmosphere, and in the global cycling of certain persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs). A microcosm study was conducted, in which some aspects of 
      air-soil exchange likely to be important for the global cycling of POPs were 
      simulated. HCB and PCBs were introduced into a sealed chamber, which contained 
      soils of varying organic matter content, and in which soil mixing was a variable. 
      Uptake of these compounds on to the soils was monitored over time. Subsequently, 
      the primary chemical source was removed and further changes in the residues 
      retained on the soils were monitored. The rates of uptake onto the different soil 
      treatments are compared and the influence of the soil organic matter content and 
      mixing evaluated. The implications for the global cycling of POPs are discussed.
