Tracing the movement of persistent organic pollutants at a high-mountain sampling site by chemometric assessment

Abstract The main objective of the present study was to determine and differentiate the concentration levels, to define the probable sources of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pollution in the atmospheric air and their seasonal variations in Bulgaria, on the high mountain peak Moussala, Rila Mountain. The study was based on the obtained results from the passive monitoring of POPs in 2014–2017. During this period, the measurements of POPs were performed with passive samplers, advanced instrumental methods analytically determined the concentrations of PAHs, and the analysis of the obtained data was performed by the multivariate statistical analysis (cluster, factor and time-series analysis). It is shown that the POPs species could be correctly classified according to their chemical nature into several patterns of similarity and their concentration profile depends on the annual season.
