The Equilibrium Distribution of Semivolatile Organochloro Compounds between Atmosphere and Surface Water in the Atlantic Ocean
The South Atlantic Ocean is of global importance as sink and source for anthropogenic pollutants. Here the distribution of polychlorinated cyclic hydrocarbons between surface water and the atmosphere in this region is shown to fit a classical thermodynamic model of a temperature‐dependent equilibriu...

| Summary: | The South Atlantic Ocean is of global importance as sink and source for anthropogenic pollutants. Here the distribution of polychlorinated cyclic hydrocarbons between surface water and the atmosphere in this region is shown to fit a classical thermodynamic model of a temperature‐dependent equilibrium—a new example of the concept of a global environmental chemistry. |
