在2009—2010年南半球夏季,用大流量采样器(high-volume air sampler,HVAS)和聚胺酯泡沫(polyurethane foam,PUF)被动采样器采集了南极菲尔德斯半岛和阿德利岛6个点的大气样品,分析了HBCDs的浓度水平、异构体组成、气相-颗粒相分配和空...在2009—2010年南半球夏季,用大流量采样器(high-volume air sampler,HVAS)和聚胺酯泡沫(polyurethane foam,PUF)被动采样器采集了南极菲尔德斯半岛和阿德利岛6个点的大气样品,分析了HBCDs的浓度水平、异构体组成、气相-颗粒相分配和空间分布趋势.主动和被动采集大气样品中ΣHBCDs浓度(α-HBCD、β-HBCD、γ-HBCD的浓度)范围分别为n.d.(未检出)—2.73 pg·m^(−3)和0.41—3.39 pg·m^(−3),与北极和偏远地区浓度水平一致,远低于城市和工业区的污染水平.HBCDs在主动采集的颗粒相和气相中的平均比例分别为67%和33%,颗粒相以α-HBCD(57%)为主,气相以γ-HBCD(53%)为主;被动采集的PUF样品中γ-HBCD(64%)占优势.经过主动采样和被动采样的对比研究,对采样速率进行校正后,PUF被动采样器可以用于南极大气样品的采集.南极大气中HBCDs的检出,表明HBCDs具有持久性和潜在的长距离大气传输能力;南极长城站附近大气中HBCDs浓度水平略高,反映了有限的人类活动对南极环境产生了影响.展开更多
