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.

Soil-Air exchange controls on background atmospheric concentrations of organochlorine pesticides [PDF]
, 2011 Soils are the major terrestrial reservoir of persistent organic pollutants, and thus net volatilization from soil, when it happens, may exert a control on the atmospheric occurrence and variability of organic pollutants.

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

Radiocarbon as a Novel Tracer of Extra-Antarctic Feeding in Southern Hemisphere Humpback Whales
Scientific Reports, 2017 Bulk stable isotope analysis provides information regarding food web interactions, and has been applied to several cetacean species for the study of migration ecology. One limitation in bulk stable isotope analysis arises when a species, such as Southern
