FIGURE 9.65 Observed percentages in the particle phase of PAHs (( ) N-E air ( ) S-W air), PCBs (( ) nonortho, ( ) monoortho, and multiortho PCBs, respectively), and ( ) PCNs in Chicago air compared to model predicted values, (a) Solid line is calculated with Junge-Pankow (J-P) adsorption model (Eq. (TT)). (b) Solid and dotted lines are calculated with absorption model for aerosols assumed to contain 10 and 20% organic matter (om), respectively (adapted from Harner and Bidleman, 1998). 

Figures 10.8a and 10.8b compare the Pp — based J-P and Mackay models to the Koa model, using actual air data from Chicago at 0°C (Harner and Bidleman, 1998b). Kp values were determined from particle phase and gas phase concentrations (equations (1) and (2)) for PCBs, PAHs, and PCNs (polychlorinated naphthalenes) and expressed as particulate fractions, c ), using Equation (9). The model estimates were calculated as described in the example (section 3-5) except that Equation (24) instead of (25) was used for the Koa model, to allow for variation in the organic matter fraction, fom, of the aerosol. In Figure 10.8a, the J-P model overpredicts the particulate fraction, for PCBs but is in good agreement for PAHs. The Mackay model produces somewhat higher values. Another point of interest in...

Process Safety Booklets, 6th ed., 1984, AMOCO Oil Company Refining and Engineering. It seems this fundamental, matter-of-fact safety practices book is not available via the normal book sales route. You may contact Matt L. Smorch, AMOCO Oil Company, 200 East Randolph Dr., Chicago, IL 60601, (312) 856-7232. It is a superior book intended as a safety supplement to operator training courses, operating manuals, and operating procedures. The first edition of these booklets appeared over 40 years ago. The text is a real value at about 50. 

Keeler et al. (1995) reported that particulate mercury may contribute a significant portion of the deposition of mercury to natural waters. Mercury can be associated with large particles (>2.5 m) at concentrations similar to vapor phase mercury. Particulate phase mercury levels in rural areas of the Great Lakes and Vermont ranged from 1 to 86 pg/m3, whereas particulate mercury levels in urban and industrial areas were in the range of 15-1,200 pg/m3. Sweet and Vermette (1993) sampled airborne inhalable particulate matter in urban areas (southeast Chicago and East St. Louis) and at a rural site. 

About two years ago a co-passenger from Paris who befriended me in Frankfurt Airport (since we mutually discovered a common interest and common destination, Chicago) and we spent a few minutes discussing an interesting article published in the US a few years ago, which he recently read and which I felt to be quite relevant to the subject matter which you are going to read in the forthcoming pages of this book. 

As early as 1907 Bertram Boltwood had used the discovery of radioactive decay laws by Ernest Rutherford and Frederick Soddy to ascribe an age of over two billion years to a uranium mineral. In 1947 Willard Libby at the University of Chicago used the decay of to measure the age of dead organic matter. The cosmogenic radionuclide, becomes part of all living matter through photosynthesis and the consumption of plant matter.

Szilard also bought pork from a meat market on Amsterdam Avenue, saving the receipt, and arranged its irradiation to see if X rays might kill the parasitic worm of trichinosis. He even dispatched his brother B61a to Chicago to discuss the matter with Swift Company, which reported it had in fact made similar experiments of its own.
