Fewer intercomparison studies have been carried out for peroxy radicals than for OH. Two chemical amplification methods were compared during a measurement campaign in Brittany, France (Cantrell et al., 1996). Although the measurements tended to track one another, there is more scatter than might be expected, given the similar nature of the instruments. For example, a plot of the data from one instrument against those from the second had a slope of 0.71 but a correlation coefficient of only r = 0.36. In another study (Zenker et al., 1998), comparison of three chemical amplifier techniques to matrix isolation-ESR gave...

Recently, Paugam (1978) published an interesting atmospheric observation which may be related to the oxidation of DMS. He observed a substantial photolytic aerosol formation on the coast of Brittany (France) during low tide. Paugam believes that this phenomenon is due to the photooxidation of DMS emitted by algae. He also mentioned, on the basis of S02 measurement, that sulfur dioxide does not play an important part in the gas-to-particle conversion. 

The production and transportation of petroleum products also poses environmental problems. Oil spills that occur during any phase of petroleum production and use may kill aquatic life and pollute an area for years. The worst oil spill in North America, for example, occurred during the wreck of the oil tanker Exxon Valdez in 1989, when 40,000 tons of crude oil were dumped into Alaska s Prince William Sound. The worst oil spill in the world occurred in 1978 as a result of the wreck of the oil tanker Amoco Cadiz off the coast of Brittany, France. More than 220,000 tons of oil were released during that accident.

Copper is widely used in veterinary medical products. Copper sulfate is used by veterinarians to treat cattle and sheep for helminthiasis and infectious pododermatitis. Cuprol (a 1% solution of cupric oleinate) is used to control lice. Copper is routinely used as a growth supplement in the diets of swine Sus sp.) in the United Kingdom and elsewhere diets may contain as much as 250.0 mg Cu/kg ration. The intensity of pig fanning within about 10 km from the coast may influence copper content in estuarine sediments. For example, intensive pig farming in coastal Brittany, France, increased soil copper concentrations by 0.6kg/ha aimually and increased coastal sediment copper concentrations to as high as 49.6 mg/kg DW.

A green rust related mineral in soils was first discovered in a so-called gleysol at Fougferes (Brittany, France) and has therefore been named fougerite [135]. The Mossbauer spectrum, usually measured at lower temperatures (78 K) to avoid oxidation, is typical for green rust, consisting of one or two Fe " doublets with (5 1.25 mm/s and with A 2.60-2.90 mm/s and a Fe " doublet with...

This accident occurred on March 16,1978 when an oil tanker named Amoco Cadiz" carrying 223,000 tons of light Iranian and Arabian crude oil ran aground off the coast of Brittany, France. Approximately 4000 tons of bunker fuel was released into heavy sea, and most of it formed a viscous water-in-oil emulsion that increased the volume of pollutant by up to five times [27-29]. Oil and emulsion contaminated approximately 320 km of the coastline of Brittany, France by the end of April and extended as far east to Channel Island, UK.
