Emission Data

Emission data are very important to the environmental models. By using these emission data, modelers can run their models to understand the sources, occurrence, and pathways of contaminants and to predict how their input and concentrations in the various environmental compartments may change in the future.

(3) Global Gridded a-HCH emissions for 2000 (Li et al., 2000)

The gridded global annual emissions for alpha-HCH are given in Figure 3 for 2000. Total global alpha-HCH emissions in 2000 are estimated at 162 t, and all by the residues due to usage in the previous 15 years since no current use was assumed in this year.

(4) Gridded toxaphene emission for USA between 1947 and 1999 (Li, 2001, Li et al. 2001)

The total gridded emissions for toxaphene between 1947 and 1999 are given in Figure 4. Total toxaphene emissions are 194 kt between 1947 and 1999, 80% of which is contributed by the use of toxaphene in agriculture, and 20%, by the use on livestock.

(5) Gridded toxaphene residues for USA in 2000 (Li, 2001, Li et al. 2001)

Inventories of pesticide residues in agricultural soil are important for some models to predict pesticide volatilization. The toxaphene residues in agricultural soil in the United States at the beginning of 2000 are presented in Figure 5. The total toxaphene residues left in the agricultural soil at the beginning of 2000 are around 29 kt, among which 360 t were emitted in 2000.
