These results generally reflect the distribution of POPs in densely populated and industrialized countries located in temperate regions, supported by the absence of clear dependencies between POP concentrations and most evaluated environmental and local parameters.

Occurrence and Spatial Distribution of Selected Organic Substances in Germany’s Forest Soils

Persistent organic substances can have harmful effects on humans and on the environment. Nationwide studies of organic substances on forest sites are scarce. Therefore, the sampling area of the

The dataset suggests that the more volatile PCBs are moving toward equilibrium with the OM burden of the soil compartment on a European regional scale, while the distribution of the "stickier", heavier hom*ologues appears to still be primarily influenced by their preferential deposition closer to source areas.

This paper presents data from a survey of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) concentrations in 191 global background surface soils, with OM-rich soils in the NH consistently contained the highest burdens; such soils are a key global compartment for these compounds.

Comparisons of the 2008 and 1998 data sets show a general decline for PBDEs in surface soil, and a smaller averaged net decline of PCBs, which indicate an approach to air-surface soil equilibrium and a lessening of the influence of primary sources on POP concentrations in soil.
