Certain toxic, semivolatile chemicals, also known as atmosphere-surface exchangeable pollutants (ASEPs) are emitted into the environment from anthropogenic activities and natural sources. This dissertation focused on the (i) evaluation and improvement of dry particle deposition and atmosphere-surface exchange parameterizations of ASEPs for use in chemical transport models (CTMs), and (ii) application of a dynamic multimedia model to examine recovery of Lake Superior from historical inputs of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compounds (a class of ASEPs) contamination.

520 $a Certain toxic, semivolatile chemicals, also known as atmosphere-surface exchangeable pollutants (ASEPs) are emitted into the environment from anthropogenic activities and natural sources. This dissertation focused on the (i) evaluation and improvement of dry particle deposition and atmosphere-surface exchange parameterizations of ASEPs for use in chemical transport models (CTMs), and (ii) application of a dynamic multimedia model to examine recovery of Lake Superior from historical inputs of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compounds (a class of ASEPs) contamination.
520 $a Current knowledge has been inadequate to propose quantitative measures of the relative performance of available dry particle deposition parameterizations. In Chapter 1 of this dissertation, five dry deposition parameterizations were evaluated against field observations across five land use categories, in terms their ability to reproduce observed deposition velocities, V d (accuracy), the influence of imprecision in input parameter values on the modeled Vd ( uncertainty), identification of the most influential parameter(s) (sensitivity), and complexity. Based on the evaluation, a recommendation for the superior parameterization for use in CTMs is made.
520 $a In most CTMs, current parameterizations of atmosphere-terrestrial surface exchange of elemental mercury (Hg0) lack critical evaluation against field measurements. In Chapter 2 of this dissertation, an extensive evaluation of most commonly used resistance-based dry gaseous deposition and soil re-emission parameterizations (base model) of Hg0 was performed using a direct comparison to micrometeorological flux measurements from two ecosystems. This evaluation elucidated two major shortcomings of the base model: significant overestimation of leaf Hg uptake in summer month and an inability of capture measured nighttime net depositions. A step-wise model calibration was performed to adjust certain stomatal, non-stomatal, and soil re-emission parameters of the base model, which enabled an improved prediction of measured net exchange fluxes and growing-season leaf Hg accumulation. Based on the evaluation, generic recommendations for improvement in modeling Hg 0 exchange for CTMs were made.
520 $a Despite the U.S. production ban on PCBs in 1979, the measured concentrations in Lake Superior fish exhibited only a slow decline over the last 20 years. Sediment recycling of PCBs is often invoked to explain this slow recovery in fish PCB concentrations. In Chapter 3 of this dissertation, a dynamic multimedia model was applied to investigate the observed leveling-off of fish PCB concentrations in Lake Superior. Using historical to present-day PCB emissions (1930--2013) as the primary input in the multimedia model, the long-term trends in predicted PCB concentrations in different environmental media (water, sediment, and biota) were compared with available measurements for Lake Superior. The model-predicted half-life of total PCBs in fish was not consistent with the observations, suggesting that food web changes in the lake may be affecting trajectories of PCB concentrations in fish.
