identification by GIS - based receptor model applied to diffuse water pollution by perfluorinated compounds in Tokyo Bay Basin , Japan

چکیده
Among them, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is speculated to be highly persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) compound. Afterwards, PFOS and its synthetic starting material, perfluorooctyl sulfonyl fluoride (PFOSF), have been designated as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by the Stockholm Convention on POPs in 2009. Therefore, to efficiently reduce PFC pollution, an understanding of PFC source and its contribution to the pollution is of great interest.

Novel Source Apportionment Method Based on Gis Receptor Model for Aquatic Perfluorinated Compound (pfc) Pollution -a Case Study in the Basin of Tokyo Bay, Japan-
Introduction Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been detected from various environmental matrices even in Arctic, and known to be ubiquitous pollutants. Fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs) and fluorooctane sulfonamidoethanol (FOSE), which can be degraded to perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), respectively, spread to all over the globe through atmosphere and are consider...
متن کاملTime trends of perfluorinated compounds from the sediment core of Tokyo Bay, Japan (1950s-2004).
Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) were detected in sediment core samples collected in Tokyo Bay to reveal their time trends. The core sample deposited during 1950s-2004 was divided into two- to three-year intervals and the concentrations of 24 types of PFCs were determined. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) decreased gradually from the early 1990s and its precursor decreased rapidly in the late 19...
متن کاملSource and behavior analyses of dioxins based on congener-specific information and their application to Tokyo Bay basin.
Identification of pollution sources and estimation of their contribution to dioxin pollution are important for taking better countermeasures against such sources. The information based on seventeen 2,3,7,8-chlorine-substituted congeners and 10 homologues is usually not sufficient for source identification. The usefulness of detailed congener-specific information of tetra- to octachlorinated pol...

Application of excess nutrients such as fertilizers is a significant and sometimes even major component of ground water pollution. Diffuse inputs of nutrients and contaminants to the ground water are related to runoff generated from precipitation in a catchment. Catchment’s response depends on site conditions and its physical properties. This implies that the analysis of diffuse fluxes from the...

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of systemic extranodal non-Hodgkin diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We report a rare case of IVLBCL who showed diffuse 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the lung in FDG-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) without respiratory symptoms or chest CT abnormalities. Serum biochemical studies...
