A Review of the Research on Persistent Organic Pollutants in Tibetan Plateau

Abstract

Abstract:

Due to the unique geographical conditions, Tibetan Plateau is an ideal place for researchers to study geochemical processes of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in natural environment, such as transportation and transformation. The mechanism of mountain cold trapping of POPs could be observed in Tibetan Plateau since its average altitude of more than 4,000 m. The distribution of POPs should rarely be secondly destroyed from few human activities. The precipitation history of POPs could be completely recorded in ices due to so many glaciers in plateau. With research about POPs being done in Tibetan plateau, the importance and significance of the work are gradually recognized. This article intends to review these reports about POPs research so far in plateau area, and focuses on monitoring results in some environmental media. Also, the research results about source and the transportation of POPs are also summarized in this review. In the end, some prospects for future research about POPs in Tibetan Plateau are also proposed.

Key words: Tibetan Plateau, persistent organic pollutant; , environmental media, source
