PREFERRED TERM

deposition benz(bj)fluoranthenes 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). Benzo(bj)fluoranthene is a mixture of benzo(b)fluoranthene and benzo(j)fluoranthene. It belongs to the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
