Remote national parks of the western U.S. and Alaska are not immune to contaminants of emerging
concern. Semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) such as pesticides and PCBs can selectively deposit from
the atmosphere at higher rates in cold, high-elevation and high-latitude sites, potentially increasing risk to
these ecosystems. In the environment,...

The relative influences of trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport on measured concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PAH derivatives [Nitro- (NPAH) and Oxy-(OPAH)], organic carbon (OC), and Particulate Matter (PM) less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM₂.₅) were investigated in the Pacific Northwest, USA in 2010-2011. Ambient high volume PM₂.₅...

Remote aquatic ecosystems are exposed to an assortment of semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) originating from current and historic uses, of local and global origin. Here, a representative suite of 57 current- and historic-use pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were surveyed in the plasma of the western pond turtle...
