Samples were collected from an urban-industrial site of Bursa, Turkey. A stainless steel pot and a high volume air sampler (HVAS) were employed to collect deposition and ambient air samples, respectively. The dry deposition fluxes of PCBs ranged from 3600 to 56,000 pg m(-2) d(-1) while the total PCB concentrations collected simultaneously were between 35 and 348 pg m(-3). The average dry deposition flux value was in line with the previously reported values. Possible variations in PCB fluxes were likely due to PCB and total suspended particle (TSP) concentrations, and meteorological conditions. No seasonal trends were observed for the bulk deposition samples. The 3- and 4- chlorobiphenyls (CBs) were abundant homolog groups in bulk and concentration samples with ratios of 67% and 90%, respectively. Apparent bulk deposition velocities were calculated by dividing the dry deposition flux value by particle phase air concentration values of PCBs measured with HVAS. The calculated apparent dry deposition velocities ranged from 0.23 cm s(-1) to 3.09 cm s(-1) (aver +/- SD, 0.74 +/- 0.23 cm s(-1)).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAir pollutionAtmosphericsConcentration (process)CuringDryingElectronic equipment manufactureFluxesIronMeteorological problemsPollutionPolychlorinated biphenylsPrinted circuit manufacturePrinted circuitsSpray gunsStainless steelAir concentrationsAir samplersAmbient air (AA)Atmospheric depositionsBulk depositionsConcentration (composition)Dry depositionDry deposition fluxesDry deposition velocitiesIn lineIndustrial sitesMeteorological conditionsParticle phasePolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)Seasonal trendsTotal suspended particle (TSP)Printed circuit boardsEngineeringEnvironmental sciences & ecologyAtmospheric depositionBulk depositionDeposition velocityPCBsPolycyclic aromatic-hydrocarbonsDibenzo-p-dioxinsAir-water exchangeOrganochlorine pesticidesUrban siteGasFluxesLakeAir pollutantsAtmospherePolychlorinated biphenylsQuality controlTurkeyUrban healthArticle0002577520000042-s2.0-4764909159912521260431118642148Engineering, environmentalEnvironmental sciencesPersistent Organic Pollutants; HCH; Organochlorine PesticidesPolychlorinated biphenylAir pollutionAir samplingAmbient airArticleAtmospheric depositionIndustrial areaPollution monitoringTurkey (republic)Vurban area
