Persistent Organic Pollutants: Risk Assessment for Transboundary Transport and Biotransformation
Abstract
The article considers the indicators characterizing the assessment of the risk to public health during the transboundary transport of pollutants (POPs) and their biotransformation. The values of concentrations of these compounds in the atmosphere are given and the fields of their deposition in various regions of the world are shown. Risk assessments for dioxins and dioxin-like compounds are given.
