AB  - A new passive exchange meter (PEM) to measure inter-compartment fluxes of 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) at the interface between soil and the 
      atmosphere is described. The PEM uses labeled reference compounds (RC) added 
      in-situ to vegetation litter deployed in open cylinders designed to trap the 
      vertical downward export of the RCs while allowing free exchange of POPs between 
      litter and air. Fluxes of native compounds (bulk deposition, volatilization and 
      downward export) are quantitatively tracked. One scope of the PEM is to 
      investigate the influence of biogeochemical controls on contaminant 
      re-mobilization. The PEM performance was tested in a subtropical forest by 
      comparing measurements under dense canopy and in a canopy gap; conditions in 
      which deposition and turn-over of organic matter (OM) occur at different rates. 
      Significant differences in fate processes were successfully detected. 
      Surprisingly, mobilization by leaching of more hydrophobic compounds was higher 
      under canopy, possibly as a result of canopy mediated enhancement of OM 
      degradation.
