Record high peaks in PCB concentrations in the Arctic atmosphere due to long-range transport of biomass burning emissions
Soils and forests in the boreal region of the Northern Hemisphere are recognised as having a large capacity for storing air-borne Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), such as the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Following reductions of primary emissions of various legacy POPs, there is an increasi...
