TI  - Atmospheric deposition of persistent organic pollutants and chemicals of emerging 
      concern at two sites in northern Sweden.

AB  - Bimonthly bulk atmospheric deposition samples (precipitation + dry particle) were 
      taken for one year at an arctic (Abisko, 68 degrees 20' N, 19 degrees 03' E) and a sub-arctic 
      (Krycklan 64 degrees 14' N, 19 degrees 46' E) location in northern Sweden using Amberlite IRA-743 
      as an absorbent for hydrophobic pollutants. The samples were analyzed by gas 
      chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) for polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs), legacy organochlorine pesticides (OCPs = hexachlorocyclohexanes 
      and chlordane-related compounds), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and 
      emerging chemicals. Higher deposition rates of most compounds were observed at 
      the more northern site despite its receiving less precipitation and being more 
      remote. HCHs and PCBs made up the bulk of the total deposition at both sites. 
      Five emerging chemicals were detected: the current-use pesticides trifluralin and 
      chlorothalonil; and non-BDE flame retardants 
      1,2-dibromo-4-(1,2-dibromoethyl)cyclohexane (TBECH), 
      1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy) ethane (BTBPE), and Dechlorane Plus (DP). A 
      decrease in the fraction of the anti isomer of DP was observed at the arctic 
      site, indicating isomer-selective degradation or isomerization during long range 
      transport. Air parcel back trajectories revealed a greater influence from air 
      originating over the ocean at the more northern site. The differences in these 
      air sources were reflected in higher  summation operatorHCH to  summation operatorPCB ratios compared to the more 
      southern site, as HCHs are related to volatilization from the ocean and Abisko is 
      located <100 km from the Norwegian coast, while PCBs are emitted from continental 
      sources.
