TI  - Air-water exchange and dry deposition of polybrominated diphenyl ethers at a 
      coastal site in Izmir Bay, Turkey.
PG  - 785-91
AB  - The air-water exchange of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), an emerging 
      class of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), was investigated using paired 
      air-water samples (n = 15) collected in July and December, 2005 from Guzelyali 
      Port in Izmir Bay, Turkey. Total dissolved-phase water concentrations of PBDEs 
      (sigma7PBDEs) were 212 +/- 65 and 87 +/- 57 pg L(-1) (average +/- SD) in summer 
      and winter, respectively. BDE-209 was the most abundant congener in all samples, 
      followed by BDE-99 and -47. Average ambient gas-phase sigma7PBDE concentrations 
      were between 189 +/- 61 (summer) and 76 +/- 65 pg m(-3) (winter). Net air-water 
      exchange fluxes ranged from -0.9 +/- 1.0 (BDE-28) (volatilization) to 11.1 +/- 
      5.4 (BDE-209) ng m(-2) day(-1) (deposition). The BDE-28 fluxes were mainly 
      volatilization while the other congeners were deposited. Gas- and dissolved-phase 
      concentrations were significantly correlated (P = 0.33-0.55, p < 0.05, except for 
      BDE-209, r = 0.05, p > 0.05) indicating thatthe atmosphere controls the surface 
      water PBDE levels in this coastal environment. Estimated particulate dry 
      deposition fluxes ranged between 2.7 +/- 1.9 (BDE-154) and 116 +/- 84 ng m(-2) 
      day(-1) (BDE-209) indicating that dry deposition is also a significant input to 
      surface waters in the study area.
