Air–soil exchange of organochlorine pesticides in a sealed chamber
So far little is known about air–soil exchange under any sealed circumstances（e.g., in plastic and glass sheds）, which however has huge implications for the soil–air–plant pathways of persistent organic pollutants including organochlorine pesticides（OCPs）. A newly designed passive air sampler was tested in a sealed chamber for measuring the vertical concentration profiles of gaseous phase OCPs（hexachlorocyclohexanes（HCHs） and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes（DDTs））. Air was sampled at 5, 15, and 30 cm above ground level every 10 th day during a 60-day period by deploying polyurethane foam cylinders housed in acrylonitrile butadiene styrene-covered cartridges. Concentrations and compositions of OCPs along the vertical sections indicated a clear relationship with proximity to the mixture of HCHs and DDTs which escapes from the soils. In addition, significant positive correlations were found between air temperatures and concentrations of HCHs and DDTs. These results indicated revolatilization and re-deposition being at or close to dynamic pseudo-equilibrium with the overlying air. The sampler used for addressing air–soil exchange of persistent organic pollutants in any sealed conditions is discussed.
