PREFERRED TERM

deposition PCB 52 mass flux  

DEFINITION

  • Mass flux is defined as the amount of mass transported per unit time across a unit area that is perpendicular to the direction of mass transport. Deposition is the sum of dry deposition (uptake at the earth's surface) and wet deposition (absorption into droplets followed by droplet precipitation, e.g., rain, snow, sleet) or impaction on the earth's surface (e.g., fog droplets). The chmical formula for PCB 52 is C12H6Cl4. It belongs to the group of persistent organic pollutants known as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The IUPAC name is 2,2′,5,5′-Tetrachlorobiphenyl
