During passive air sampling, the amount of a chemical taken up in a sorbent from the air
without the help of a pump is quantified and converted into an air concentration. In an …

Owing to their toxicity, persistence and capacity for long-range atmospheric transport,
persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are internationally regulated. However, forests can …

India is of prime interest due to the large past and ongoing use of pesticidal persistent
organic pollutants (POPs). Rapid dissipation of POPs to the atmosphere in the tropical …

Due to the influence of the Indian monsoon system, air mass transport in and to the Tibetan
Plateau shows obvious seasonality. In order to assess the responses of atmospheric …

In the last decades, research regarding the dynamics of pesticides has grown, even in
remote regions. Due to long-range atmospheric transport, environmental persistence and …

Since the turn of the century, our understanding of the quantities, transport pathways, and
fate of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) over the Tibetan Plateau (TP), the largest and …

The most commonly used passive air sampler (PAS)(ie polyurethane foam (PUF) disk) is
cheap, versatile, and capable of accumulating compounds present both in gas and particle …

Current understanding of atmospheric transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
is limited in alpine areas due to complex meteorology and topography. To better understand …

Pristine high-altitude mountains are ideal areas for studying the potential mechanism behind
the long-range transport and environmental behavior of persistent organic pollutants in …

Although the fate and behavior of parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) have been
documented worldwide, the information about PAH-derivatives (NPAHs and OPAHs) is …
