Review on polychlorinated naphthalenes (pcns): properties, sources, characteristics of emission and atmospheric level
Keywords:
polychlorinated naphthalenes, emission sources, diagnostic ratios, atmospheric level, Study in VietnamAbstract
Polychlorinated Naphthalenes (PCNs) have been included as new persistent organic pollutants (POPs) under Stockholm Convention in May, 2015. Thereafter, various studies working on the occurrence, toxicity and characteristics of PCNs in all environmental matrices and emission sources were conducted worldwide. However, these kinds of study have never been done in Vietnam, where has a high potential of PCNs pollution. Upcoming activities obeying the Stockholm Convention on limiting adverse effect of PCNs should be conducted as soon as possible by Vietnamese government. For the preparation, the relevant information on properties, sources of PCNs should be reviewed in advance. In this review paper, the characteristics of PCNs emitted from current sources and their atmospheric level measured worldwide were summarized. This review paper also offered diagnostic ratios those could be effectively used for distinguishing PCNs emitted/released or evaporated from technical mixtures and combustion-related sources. The information given in this review paper is useful for future studies in Vietnam.
