Fig. 4. Gas-exchange flux (ng m-2 d-1) of metolachlor across the air–water interface of each segment (Fig. 1) of the Choptank River. Dates listed on the x axis represent the water sample collection date. Air sample concentrations used in the gas exchange calculation were an average of the two air samples bracketing the water sample collection date.
