Methanol and ethanol concentrations in a Greenland ice core
2019, Atmospheric EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :A 6 × 6 cm section was cut from the center of the 10 cm diameter core in order to limit contamination present in the outer layers of the core. ~50% of the outer portion of the core was removed in order to obtain a contaminant free portion of the core (Saigne et al., 1987; Legrand et al., 1988; Legrand et al., 1993; Jauhiainen et al., 1999). The inner core was allowed to melt at room temperature in covered 4L beakers that had been baked at 450 °C in a muffle furnace for a minimum of 4.5 h to remove organics prior to use.
Spatial variability and possible sources of acetate and formate in the surface snow of East Antarctica
2017, Journal of Environmental Sciences (China)Citation Excerpt :Since, these organic acids contribute to total acidity of precipitation (Kawamura et al., 1996; Keene et al., 1983) and can potentially play an important role in the cloud condensation nuclei activity and influence the radiation budget of the earth's atmosphere (Kanakidou et al., 2005), understanding the sources and fluxes of these organic acids is important. The study of carboxylic acids in Antarctic snow can also provide useful information on the sources and transport processes of atmospheric constituents related to biogeochemical cycling (Keene and Galloway, 1988; Legrand and Saigne, 1988). In addition, carboxylic acids are one of the important components of dissolved organic matter in the snowpack (Legrand et al., 2013) and are possible carbon sources for resident microorganisms (Amato et al., 2007), potentially playing an important role in biological processes within the snowpack.

2008, Environmental PollutionCitation Excerpt :Polar territories as the regions playing a very significant role in global environmental processes keep attracting an interest of environmental scientists. Increasing levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in various environmental matrices in these pristine locations (Blais et al., 1998; Donald et al., 1999; Carrera et al., 2001) are the matter of a growing concern but they also enhance the understanding of atmospheric chemistry and transport (Legrand and Saigne, 1988). Organochlorine compounds (OCs) including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs) continue to pervade global ecosystems despite of successful curtailing of most of their emissions (AMAP, 2003).
An overview of ISCAT 2000
2004, Atmospheric EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :As stated in a 1991 symposium on Antarctic Tropospheric Chemistry, “there are many unique features of Antarctica that make it a valuable laboratory for monitoring and understanding the state of our global environment” (Bodhaine et al., 1992). Clearly, one of the most unique features of this land of ice is that it represents a giant archive of atmospheric conditions dating back nearly 500,000 years bp (Legrand and Feniet-Saigne, 1988; Legrand et al., 1991, and references therein). Thus, all major global geophysical, biological, and/or climatological events that have had a measurable impact on atmospheric composition are recorded in some form in the vast ice accumulations on this continent.
