Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Dechloranes are chlorinated flame retardant and we revealed that the atmospheric pollution level in Japan and other Asian countries. Among dechlorane compounds, Dechlorane Plus (DP) alone was detected from any samples. The atmospheric concentration of DP in Japanese city has the correlation with the population size of sampling city. This result indicates that the main DP contamination source is closely linked with people's lives in Japan. The particle size distributions of dechloranes were determined. For collecting PM, a PM0.1 air sampler equipped with six-stage filters was used. Particulate matter (PM) was collected in October and January. The particle size distribution of DP was revealed for the first time and the approximately 70% of DP exist in <2.5 μm fractions and 10% of DP exist in <0.1 μm fractions of PM samples.
