Accumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in an urban snowpack / by A. Boom and J. Marsalek.: En13-5/87-147E-PDF

"Accumulations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a snowpack were studied in an industrial urban area with numerous anthropogenic sources of PAHs. Average PAH loadings stored in the snowpack were determined, plotted in a map of the study area, and approximated by isoloading contours. The loading contours were spaced over the urban area with a marked elongation in the direction of prevailing winds. The unit-area deposition rates observed in the study area exceeded the typical rates reported for other urban areas and were the highest immediately downwind of a steel plant"--Abstract, page 1.
