TI  - Development of a soil fugacity sampler for determination of air-soil partitioning 
      of persistent organic pollutants under field controlled conditions.

AB  - Soils are the main reservoir of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and thus 
      air-soil exchange and partitioning are key processes controlling the fate and 
      transport of POPs at regional and global scales. To date, soil fugacity has been 
      estimated from models of the soil-air partition coefficients, with the associated 
      unavoidable uncertainties; or by experimental procedures in the laboratory with 
      uncertain application in field conditions. The development of an operational soil 
      fugacity sampler is presented here; one which ensures optimal field data of the 
      POP fugacity in soil and environmentally relevant surface (soil+grass, etc.) and 
      therefore ensuring accurate soil-air partition coefficients and surface-air 
      fugacity gradients. The sampler flow rate is optimized, sampler reproducibility 
      is assessed, and equilibrium between the gas and soil concentrations of 
      polychlorinated biphenyls and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is demonstrated. 
      The development and comprehensive validation of a soil fugacity sampler opens the 
      door for the first time to field studies that accurately determine the variables 
      driving the soil-air partitioning and fluxes of POPs.
