 Long-range Air Transport of Dioxin from North American Sources to Ecologically Vulnerable Receptors in Nunavut, Arctic ...
These results show that employing air transport modeling is an effective means of estimating the relative rates of dioxin deposition among the Nunavut receptors and of ranking the contribution of the numerous sources to that deposition.
The amount of airborne dioxin deposited on Nunavut receptors depends on the amount emitted from the sources and the efficiency with which the emitted dioxin is transported to the receptor.
The efficiency factor, the Air Transport Coefficient (ATC), is ex-pressed as the fraction of a unit amount emitted from the source that is deposited on the receptor.
