Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed a 3D dynamic multimedia model, FATE, to quantify the fate and transport of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the environment. FATE is capable of predicting global biogeochemical cycles of POPs across the atmosphere, ocean, soil, vegetation, and cryosphere. In this study, we integrated FATE, macroecology, and food-web bioaccumulation models. This improved FATE enabled us to predict POPs contents in marine fishery resources (i.e., fishes) in all body mass or trophic level classes. We also compiled global fishery statistics and estimated POPs piscatorial transports from the ocean to land, which is considered to be a potential source of POPs exposure to terrestrial ecosystems.
