Chemistry of POPs Referring to Scenarios and Forecasting the Effects of Global Change
摘要
Several aspects of POP chemistry have a direct influence on their biochemical and toxicologic consequences. Processes of speciation, adsorption, desorption, and degradation have affected the chemical behavior of POPs. The dynamic equilibriums influencing the proportion of a POP’s gaseous, liquid, and solid phases are illustrated. The processes controlling the global scale of the POP cycle are discussed. POP migration is explained by referring to the grasshopper effect. The impacts of climate change on emissions and the fate of POPs will be highlighted using a global-scale multimedia fate model. Predicting the impact of potential global change scenarios on POP bioaccumulation patterns is reported.
