Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in The Sea: A Review [PDF]
BIO Web of Conferences, 2023 Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are organic compounds that have been banned or restricted for all purposes. Banning these compounds does not guarantee that the chemicals will not be found in the environment. This is related to the persistence nature

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) [PDF]
Turkish Bulletin of Hygiene and Experimental Biology, 2013 Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are chemical substances that persist in the environment. The most important features of POPs are bioaccumulation and toxicity. POPs are organic compounds and highly resistant against chemical and biological degradation. A significant part of POPs are generally classified as industrial chemicals and pesticides. POPs,

Rain Amplification of Persistent Organic Pollutants [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2021 Scavenging of gas- and aerosol-phase organic pollutants by rain is an efficient wet deposition mechanism of organic pollutants. However, whereas snow has been identified as a key amplification mechanism of fugacities in cold environments, rain has received less attention in terms of amplification of organic pollutants.
