Description for The Fate of Persistent Organic Pollutants in the North Sea. Multiple Year Model Simulations of G-Hch, A-Hch and Pcb 153.
Paperback. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are harmful to human health and to the environment. This model study aims to prove that transport models, such as FANTOM, are capable of reproducing realistic multi-year temporal and spatial trends of selected POPs and can be used to address further scientific questions. Series: Hamburg Studies on Maritime Affairs. Num Pages: 148 pages, 32 black & white illustrations, 16 colour illustrations, 13 black & white tables, biograp. BIC Classification: 1QSF; RNP.

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are harmful to human health and to the environment. Their fate in the marine environment is not yet fully understood. An ocean model (FANTOM) has been developed to investigate the fate of selected POPs in the North Sea. The main focus of the model is on quantifying the distribution of POPs and their aquatic pathways. This is the first time that a spatially-resolved, measurement-based ocean transport model has been used to study POP-like substances, at least on the regional scale. The model was applied for the southern North Sea and tested by studying the behaviour of ... Read more

Reviews for The Fate of Persistent Organic Pollutants in the North Sea. Multiple Year Model Simulations of G-Hch, A-Hch and Pcb 153.
From the reviews: "The findings represent the best scientific basis presently available for assessing and controlling the spreading and fate of organic pollutants in the North Sea. Such an approach provides a valuable aid for national and European marine environmental policymakers. Moreover, this approach can be applied to endangered shelf seas in other parts of ... Read more
