Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are one of the most widely studied group of persistent
organic pollutants (POPs). There are 209 different PCBs, however not all 209 can currently …

Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were measured in dated sediment
cores collected from the fifth largest freshwater lake in China, Lake Chaohu, to investigate …

Human activity has resulted in an increased release of contaminants into the environment.
The atmosphere is the element of the environment that is particularly vulnerable to …

The concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated naphthalenes
(PCNs), and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) were …

The comprehensive understanding of PCBs' fate has been impeded by the lack of
simultaneous monitoring of PCBs in multiple environmental media in the background areas …

Contamination of the Arctic by legacy polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) is well documented,
but the more recent discovery of unintentionally produced (UP) PCBs in the Arctic is a cause …

Tree bark has been proven as an effective passive air sampler, particularly where access to
active sampling methods is limited. In this study, 60 target liquid crystal monomers (LCMs; …

During spring 2014 we collected annual surface snow from four glacial sites on Svalbard, an
archipelago in the European Arctic. The sampling sites are 230 km apart from west to east …

There have been few reports of the large-scale spatial distribution and long-term historical
variations of pollutants in high-altitude forests. Tree bark and tree core samples were …

Nepal is abutted between the populated Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) and Himalayan
mountains. Currently, knowledge on the country-wide distribution and cancer risks of …
