TI  - Seasonal variation of atmospheric organochlorine pesticides and polybrominated 
      diphenyl ethers in Parangipettai, Tamil Nadu, India: Implication for atmospheric

AB  - Past studies have reported several persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in 
      different environmental matrices from a tropical coastal site, Parangipettai 
      (PI), located along the bank of the Vellar River in Tamil Nadu, south India. 
      Hence to fill the data gap after the strict ban on several POPs, high volume air 
      sampling was conducted in PI to study the variability of atmospheric 
      organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) 
      during summer, pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons. Emission source regions were 
      tracked by using five days back trajectory analysis. Range of air concentrations 
      in pg/m(3) were: dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), 13 - 1976; 
      hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), 260-1135, hexachlorocyclobenzene (HCB), 52-135, 
      chlordanes, 36-135 and endosulfans, 66-1013. Six PBDE congeners ranged between 25 
      and 155 pg/m(3) with the highest concentration in summer followed by pre-monsoon 
      and monsoon. Atmospheric DDT and HCH in PI have drastically reduced from the past 
      report thereby showing the strict ban on agricultural use of these compounds. 
      During monsoon, fresh source of o,p'-DDT, trans-chlordane and alpha-endosulfan was 
      evident. Higher level of endosulphan sulfate in PI seems to be likely affected by 
      the air mass, originating from a neighbouring state Kerela, where endosulfan has 
      been extensively used for cashew plantations. Similarly in summer, the day 
      recorded with the highest level of PBDEs, the sample was concurrently impacted by 
      air parcel comprised of two major clusters, 1 (25%) and 2 (49%) that traversed 
      through the metropolitan cities like Bangalore and Chennai. Dominance of BDE-99 
      over BDE-47 in PI is in line with the PBDE profile reported from Chennai city 
      during similar time frame. Average concentration of tetra and penta BDE congeners 
      in summer samples were nearly 2-3 folds higher than pre-monsoon or monsoon. Given 
      the fact that strong localised sources for heavier BDE congeners are lacking in 
      PI, regional atmospheric transport from the strong emission source regions in 
      Chennai might have impacted PBDE concentration in PI.
