MIT researchers have built a model to simulate long-range atmospheric transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Persistent organic pollutants are chemicals of substantial international concern. The model that will be further developed as part of an NSF-funded project to track how chemicals get to remote Arctic environments.
