Winter snow from four glacial sites on Svalbard was analyzed for atmospheric deposition of 36 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and 7 industrial compounds (OCICs) by GC–high-resolution MS. Thirteen of the OCPs and all OCICs were detected at all sites. Sampling sites are 230 km apart from west to east, but are at varying elevations, ranging from 700 to 1202 m a.s.l. Total OCP flux was greater than total OCIC at all sites and was 5 times greater at Lomonosovfonna, and 3 times greater at Austfonna, the most easterly site. Chlorpyrifos dominated OCP flux at Lomonosovfonna (81.7 pg cm^–2 yr^–1) and Kongsvegen (60.6 pg cm^–2 yr^–1), and at Austfonna, but not at Holtedahlfonna where dieldrin dominated. trans-chlordane was a major contributor to OCPs. These three pesticides comprised at least 50% of total OCP at each site. OCIC flux was dominated by pentachloroanisole (PCA) at Lomonosovfonna (23.5 pg cm …
