The atmosphere is a major pathway for the transport and deposition of natural and anthropogenic organic chemicals. Pesticides used in the southern United States volatilize and are translocated northward. Polycyclic aromatic hydro-carbons (PAHs), emitted by automobiles and other combustion sources, and industrial chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are mobilized from cities. Aerial fluxes have contributed a major share of pollutant loadings to the Great Lakes basin (1-5) and 4-5 times as much total organic carbon to the Chesapeake Bay as did river inputs (6).Organic pollutants also are dispersed worldwide through the troposphere. DDT and the insecticide technical hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) have been banned for many years in the United States and Canada but are still heavily used in the tropics (7-9). In a “global distillation”(7) these and other chlorinated pesticides volatilize from
