Abstract

An ocean model (FANTOM) has been developed to investigate the fate of selected persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the North Sea. The main focus of the model is on quantifying the distribution of POPs and their aquatic pathways within the North Sea. Key processes are threedimensional transport of POPs with ocean currents, diffusive air/sea exchange, wet and dry atmospheric depositions, phase partitioning, degradation, and net sedimentation in bottomsediments. This is the first time that a spatially resolved, measurements based ocean transport model has been used to study POP like substances, at least on the regional scale.
