A study is presented in which aerial transport of organochlorines (OC) was studied. Measurements of OC fall out were made with dry dishes or with dishes with a layer of ethylene glycol, water, or glycerin-water, in Kingston, RI or Columbia, SC. Analysis was carried out by electron capture gas chromatography. Wet pans retained 1.5-3 times more OC than dry pans. Differences between the different liquids were small. Mean fallout fluxes in mg/m2/day were 230 and 68 for Aroclor 1016 at the RI and SC collection stations, respectively. Aroclor 1254 mean values were 224 and 124 for the two sites. Chlordane mean values were 0.0 for RI and 14 for SC. p,p'-DDT mean values were 89 and 31 for the two sites, respectively.
