TI  - Long-term fate of three hexachlorocyclohexanes in the lower reach of Liao River 
      basin: dynamic mass budgets and pathways.

AB  - The Liao River Basin Multimedia Fate and Transport Model (LRBMFTM), a non-steady 
      state multiple-segment river fugacity-based model, for describing the long-term 
      fate of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Liao River basin environment, is 
      used to illustrate a quantitative understanding of the behavior of alpha-, beta-, 
      and gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) in more detail in the lower reach of Liao 
      River basin from 1952 to 2001. The major pathway of the three HCHs from the basin 
      to the surrounding environment is the atmospheric advection. One of the major 
      removing of HCHs from the basin is degradation, where 2388.5 ton of alpha-HCH, 
      405.6 ton of beta-HCH, 382.7 ton of gamma-HCH emitted into the basin have been 
      degraded, especially in the soil of application regions. The main reservoir of 
      the HCHs is the soil in the basin, where there is a positive correlation between 
      the accumulated amount and emission. The model suggests that the mass fluxes of 
      all processes show an obviously seasonal trend. After the use ban, HCHs evaporate 
      from water bodies, soils, and vegetation, and are advected away in the 
      atmosphere. It is believed that the model can provide a valuable understanding of 
      the processes that determine the overall fate of HCHs in the basin.
