PREFERRED TERM

deposition p,p-DDE 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 p,p-DDE is C14H8Cl4. It belongs to the group of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The IUPAC name is 1-chloro-4-[2,2-dichloro-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethenyl]benzene
