Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) in Chinese forest soil: Will combustion become a major source?

, 2015
We collected O- and A-horizon soil samples in 26 Chinese mountainous forests to investigate the content, spatial pattern, and potential sources of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs).

Polychlorinated naphthalenes in the air over the equatorial Indian Ocean: Occurrence, potential sources, and toxicity

, 2016
Monitoring of marine polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) is crucial, as they are considered persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by the Stockholm Convention. Data on PCNs in marine environment are scarce.

Action of Halowax 1051 on Enzymes of Phase I (CYP1A1) and Phase II (SULT1A and COMT) Metabolism in the Pig Ovary

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2013
Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) are a group of organochlorinated compounds exhibiting dioxin-like properties. Previously published data showed the direct action of PCN-rich Halowax 1051 on ovarian follicular steroidogenesis. Taking into consideration

Soil-Air exchange controls on background atmospheric concentrations of organochlorine pesticides [PDF]

, 2011
Soils are the major terrestrial reservoir of persistent organic pollutants, and thus net volatilization from soil, when it happens, may exert a control on the atmospheric occurrence and variability of organic pollutants.

Tracking the fingerprints and combined TOC–black carbon mediated soil–air partitioning of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) in the Indus River Basin of Pakistan

, 2016
This study reports the first investigation of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) in air and soil samples from ecologically important sites of the Indus River Basin, Pakistan. The concentrations of ∑39-PCNs in air and soil were found in a range between 1–

Polychlorinated naphthalenes in UK soils: time trends, source markers and equilibrium status. [PDF]

, 2001
Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) have been analyzed in archived soil from the U.K. to investigate historical trends. Samples were obtained from the Broadbalk experiment plots (1944−1986) and Luddington experiment station (1968−1990).

Polychlorinated naphthalenes in sediments from the Venice and Orbetello lagoons, Italy

, 1999
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contamination caused by polychlorinated naphthalenes in two polluted Mediterranean lagoons. Surface sediment samples from Venice and Orbetello lagoons were analysed using HRGC-HRMS.

Polychlorinated Naphthalenes in the Global Atmospheric Passive Sampling (GAPS) Study

, 2016
Air concentrations of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) were measured as part of the Global Atmospheric Passive Sampling (GAPS) study to assess their spatial distribution on a worldwide basis for the first sampling period between December 2004 and ...
