PAH MOVEMENT AFFECTS ASSESSMENT OF: Exposures, Remediation and Interventions

  • 1. Bioavailable PAHs in the environment

are moving constantly.

  • 2. Will PAHs move differently depending
  • n season?
  • 3. Are PAHs moving by both diffusion and

advection processes?

  • Each sampling location had diffusive flux units and

advective flux units co-deployed

  • Passive samplers were deployed for 30 days in August,

September and October 2019

  • ~ 150 PSDs total
  • A 24-hour seepage meter reading was taken at each site

in August, September and October 2019

  • ~ 35 readings total

AIR, WATER AND POREWATER PAH CONCENTRATIONS CHANGE TEMPORALLY

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT CHEMICAL MOVEMENT?

  • Air increased on average 35% from summer to fall
  • Water decreased on average 25% from summer to fall
  • Sediment porewater increased on average 36% from

summer to fall

ADVECTIVE PAH FLUX: SUMMER AND FALL

(note scale break)

  • MOST sites PAHs are moving

from the sediments to river

  • LESS advective flux in fall

compared with summer

  • BIG difference in advective

flux between sites

DIFFUSIVE PAH FLUX: SUMMER AND FALL

  • BIG difference in diffusive flux of

PAHs between sites

  • MOST sites diffusing PAHs from

sediments to water

  • LESS diffusion in fall
  • SMALL, but MORE change in

diffusion btw summer and fall

DIFFUSIVE AND ADVECTIVE FLUX MAGNITUDE SUMMER AND FALL

 DIFFUSIVE flux is the LARGEST contribution

TEMPORAL CHANGE OF PAH MAGNITUDE

2 and 3 ring PAHs:

  • Most sites are volatizing PAHs in

summer

  • About 21% of compounds are in

deposition

  • Most sites are in deposition in fall
  • Suggests there are new atmospheric

inputs into the system 4 ring through 5 ring PAHs:

  • Most sites are in volatilization
  • In both summer and fall, the magnitude of

deposition is greater than the magnitude of volatilization
