Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls in soils and atmosphere of Western Canadian mountains: The role of source proximity, precipitation, forest cover and mountain cold-trapping

Soil was sampled and XAD-2 based passive air samplers were deployed for one year at several locations on four mountains and a mountain pass in British Columbia (BC), Canada. The mountains, ranging between ca. 1100–1500 m in altitude, varied in their proximity to likely sources of polychlorinated bip...
