Abstract
⺠Strong melt events correlate with elevated concentrations of particle-bound PAHs in river water. ⺠The PAH flux at the onset of melting exceeds the background chemical flux by three orders of magnitude. ⺠The pesticides lindane and chlorothalonil also tend to be released early during melting. ⺠Concentrations of both substances are low and likely reflect regional atmospheric background.
