Article Citation - WoS: 68Citation - Scopus: 75Air-Water Exchange of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (pcbs) and Organochlorine Pesticides (ocps) at a Coastal Site in Izmir Bay, Turkey(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Odabaşı, Mustafa; Çetin, Banu; Demircioğlu, Eylem; Sofuoğlu, AysunThe air-water exchange of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were investigated using paired air-water samples (n = 16) collected in July and February-March, 2005 from Guzelyali Port in Izmir Bay, Turkey. Atmospheric PCBs and OCPs were mainly in gas-phase in both periods. However, their dissolved and particle-phase water concentrations were comparable. For PCBs, 3 and 4-Cl congeners were dominant while chlorpyrifos, endosulfans and HCHs were the most abundant OCPs for all samples. Especially in summer, calculated net gas-exchange PCB fluxes were mainly volatilization from the water ranging from - 0.2 (volatilization, PCB-101) to - 30.0 (volatilization, PCB-31) ng m- 2 day- 1. For OCPs, net flux ranged from - 0.03 (volatilization, cis-nonachlor) to 1568 (deposition, endosulfan I) ng m- 2 day- 1 and they have seasonal variations with generally deposition in winter and volatilization in summer. However, endosulfan I, II, endosulfan sulfate, α- and γ-HCH deposited in both periods. The calculated residence times of PCBs and OCPs in the water column indicated that the gas-exchange in the Bay is at least as or a more important mechanism than advection. Annual gaseous absorption and volatilization fluxes were calculated and were used along with the estimated dry deposition fluxes and wet deposition fluxes measured recently at a suburban site in Izmir to determine the relative contributions of different atmospheric mechanisms to the pollutant inventory of the Bay water column. Results suggested that the relative contributions of all studied mechanisms to the water column PCB and OCP inventories were significant.Article Citation - WoS: 50Citation - Scopus: 55Determination of Henry's Law Constants of Organochlorine Pesticides in Deionized and Saline Water as a Function of Temperature(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Çetin, Banu; Özer, Serdar; Sofuoğlu, Aysun; Odabaşı, MustafaThe Henry's law constant (H) is an important parameter that is required to estimate the air-water exchange of semi-volatile organic compounds. Henry's law constants for 17 banned/restricted/currently used organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were experimentally determined using a gas-stripping technique in deionized and saline water (3%) over a temperature range of 5-35 °C. H values (at 25 °C) ranged between 0.066±0.037 Pa m3 mol-1 (endosulfan II) and 62.0±24.2 Pa m3 mol-1 (heptachlor) in deionized water while the range in saline water was 0.28±0.03 Pa m3 mol-1 (γ-HCH) and 135.2±31.3 Pa m3 mol-1 (heptachlor). The increase in dimensionless Henry's law constants (H′) for OCPs over the studied temperature range was between 3 (γ-HCH)-19 times (chlorpyrifos) and 3 (endosulfan II)-80 times (trans-nonachlor) in deionized and saline water, respectively. The calculated enthalpies of phase change (ΔHH) were within the ranges previously reported for OCPs and other organic compounds (23.8-100.2 kJ mol-1). The salting-out constant, ks, ranged between 0.04 (γ-HCH) and 1.80 L mol-1 (endosulfan II) indicating the importance of assessing the H values of OCPs in saline water to accurately determine their partitioning and fate in seawater.Article Determination of Henry's Law Constants of Organochlorine Pesticides in Deionized and Saline Water as a Function of Temperature(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Çetin, Banu; Özer, Serdar; Sofuoğlu, Aysun; Odabaşı, MustafaThe publisher regrets that the second paragraph on p. 4545 was printed incorrectly. It now appears correctly, below. The presence of salts in aqueous solution affects the solubility of organic molecules, through the salting-out effect (Demou and Donaldson, 2002). The salting-out is defined as the decrease in aqueous solubility and increase in the activity coefficient observed for neutral non-polar compounds by dissolved inorganic salts. Ions in solution tightly bind several water molecules into hydration shells. This process (electrostriction), results in a reduction of the volume of the aqueous solution. A smaller aqueous volume results in less available water for cavity formation, and therefore less organic molecules are accommodated; their solubility decreases as a consequence (Schwarzenbach et al., 2002; Demou and Donaldson, 2002). The empirical relation for the effect of ionic strength on Henry’s law constant is described by Setschenow equation (Demou and Donaldson, 2002):
