Summary of Field Work: |
we propose to use the R/V Endeavor to measure organic contaminants in water and air along the eastern coast of the United States with a special focus on how major coastal freshwater inputs impact concentration gradients. Simultaneous air and water samples will be taken on-board and analyzed for combustion byproducts like black carbon and PAHs as well as newer contaminants found in consumer products, including PFCs, PCMs, brominated flame retardants (BFRs), and organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs). This research will contribute to our understanding of the global significance of estuaries such as our own Narragansett Bay as sources of persistent pollutants to the world’s oceans. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
(i) To install a modified high-volume air sampler on-board the R/V Endeavor; and
(ii) To install a filter-adsorbent sampling train for contamination free water sampling in the Special purpose Lab of the R/V Endeavor, using the direct sea-water inlet; and
(iii) To deploy passive samplers on-board the R/V Endeavor, to verify the absence of contamination sources.
(iv) To use CTD to obtain information on water mass properties and sample different depth for PFCs.
v) take plankton samples along the cruise; take sediment samples in estuaries |
