摘要：

Atmospheric concentrations of alpha- and gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) were measured during 1993-1995 along the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada. Average alpha- and gamma-HCH concentrations (pg/m(3)) were St. Anicet: 93-101; Villeroy: 92-42; Mingan: 96-20, respectively. alpha-HCH mean concentrations were similar in all sites and appeared to be more influenced by long-range transport than local sources. gamma-HCH mean levels in St. Anicet were 2 and 5 times higher than in Villeroy and Mingan, respectively. The time-series of gamma-HCH air concentrations at St. Anicet and Villeroy were characterised by highly elevated springtime episodes, which are in agreement with the gamma-HCH usage in Quebec as corn seed dressing pesticide. No temporal trend was observed for the alpha-HCH in air. Clausius-Clapeyron plots (log conc. vs. 1/T) showed a stronger correlation between temperature and measured gamma-HCH concentrations at St. Anicet and Villeroy than Mingan. On a regional scale, the influence of the local sources of gamma-HCH implied a seasonal variability in air concentrations due to its short transport, while at the background site (Mingan), the observed alpha- and gamma-HCH concentrations in air were the result of its long-range transport and/or water/air gas exchanges.
