Atmospheric Deposition of PCBs, PAHs, Trace Metals and Nitrogen to the Hudson River Estuary

As part of the New Jersey Atmospheric Deposition Network, concentrations of PCBs and PAHs were measured at three sites near the Hudson River Estuary in air, aerosol, and precipitation at regular intervals from October 1997 through December 1999. The information on the concentrations are presented in 9 reports titled: Atmospheric Deposition of PCBs and PAHs to the NY-NJ Harbor Estuary; Characterizatin of Atmospheric Trace Elements on PM2.5 Particulate Matter Over the New York-New Jersey Harbor Estuary; Atmospheric Polycholorinated Biphenyl Concentrations and Apparent Degradation in Coastal New Jersey; Polycyclic Aromatic hydrocarbons in the New Jersey Coastal Atmosphere; Occurrence of Estrogenic Nonylphenols in the Urban and Coastal Atmosphere of the Lower Hudson River Estuary; Atmospheric Seasonal trends and Environmental Fate of Alkylphenols in the Lower Hudson River Estuary; Air-Water Exchange of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the New York-New Jersey Harbor Estuary, USA; Dynamic Air-Water Exchange of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in the New York-New Jersey Harbor Estuary, and; Evidence for Dynamic Air-Water Exchange of PCDD/Fs: A Study in the Raritan Bay/Hudson River Estuary.Final report to the Hudson River Foundation. The New Jersey Atmospheric Deposition Network. Grant 001/97A.Purpose: To present measurements of concentration of PCBs and PAHs at three sites near the Hudson River Estuary at invervals from October 1997 to December 1999
