Global
simulation of persistent organic pollutants
Sunling Gong, MSC/University of Toronto
Objectives:
- To identify
major reservoirs of POPs (e.g. PCBs in landfills) and start building
historical PCB emission inventory for atmospheric model simulations
- To develop
a comprehensive 3-D global Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP) model
interactive with multi-component size-distributed aerosols (CAM)
in GEM-AQ
- To investigate
the transport patterns of POPs and estimate the contribution of various
sources to Canadian POP levels using Canadian measurements
- To improve
parameterization of surface-air exchange processes of POPs by investigating
and incorporating physicochemical properties and phase partitioning
characteristics that control soil/vegetation-ar and ice/snow-air
surface exchange processes
