Long-range atmospheric transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is worldwide problem - results from measurements at remote sites and modelling
Despite the fact that the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmospheric environment has been studied for decades the photochemistry, deposition and, consequently, the long-range transport potential (LRTP) are not well understood. The reason is gas-particle partitioning (GP...
