Interactive comment on “GEM/POPs: a global 3-D dynamic model for semi-volatile persistent organic pollutants – Part 2: Global transports and budgets of PCBs” by P. Huang et al
In a “first attempt with a 3-D global POPs transport model” (last paragraph) global budgets and intercontinental transport of three polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are studied. The topic is of increasing interest. The paper introduces a novel budgeting approach. The contribution(s) lack(s) essential parts: Some environmental compartments (media) are captured by the models and others not, but t...

General comments: [“The contribution(s) lack(s) essential parts: Some environmental compartments (media) are captured by the models and others not, but the requirements and possible consequences of omittances are not identified. The model is introduced in part 1 and applied in part 2. The limitations of the methodology (essential) are not discussed in part 1 and the discussion of the results of...

متن کاملContaminants: Budgets and Behaviour Case Studies
PCBs have been commercially produced for various applications since the 1930s. The known global mass production of PCBs virtually ceased in 1984, except for the production in the former Soviet Union, which ended in 1993. Worldwide, more than 1.3 million tonnes of PCBs have been intentionally produced (Breivik et al. 2002a). Dated sediment core studies have indicated that the temporal contaminat...
متن کاملRelevance of dissolved organic nutrients for the Arctic Ocean nutrient budget
We ask whether dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and phosphorus (DOP) could account for previously identified Arctic Ocean (AO) inorganic nutrient budget imbalances. We assess transports to/from the AO by calculating indicative budgets. Marked DON:DOP ratio differences between the Amerasian and Eurasian AO reflect different physical and biogeochemical pathways. DON and DOP are exported to the No...
