      polychlorinated biphenyls from contaminated soil surfaces.

AB  - A volatilization chamber, designed for direct measurements of the soil-air 
      exchange of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) was applied for determination of 
      the volatilization fluxes of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine 
      pesticides (OCPs). The volatilization fluxes were determined for 13 model 
      compounds at 3-5 concentration levels, for two soil organic carbon contents, and 
      two wind velocities. The flux values were strongly correlated with 
      physicochemical properties of the compounds. The higher fluxes were measured for 
      soils with lower organic carbon contents, for higher contamination, and higher 
      wind velocities. Experimentally derived values were compared to those predicted 
      by the fugacity model. In general, the fugacity model underestimated the 
      volatilization fluxes, especially for the compounds with higher molecular 
      weights, and soils with higher organic carbon contents. It has been demonstrated 
      that variability of the wind velocities as an important parameter for 
      quantification of the soil-air exchange should be better considered in current 
      models. Presented results draw the attention to often overlooked secondary 
      sources of the atmospheric pollution and point out that their impact can be much 
      greater than indicated by the fugacity models.
