AB  - Recently, atmospheric distribution, transport, and reaction of persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) in remote areas are getting more attention. Based on the 
      passive air sampler, the networks are established for studying the temporal and 
      spatial distribution of atmospheric POPs in remote areas. The results suggest 
      that the atmospheric concentrations of POPs display a peak value in the 1980s. As 
      the use of POPs has been forbidden after 1980s, concentrations of POPs in air are 
      generally reduced. Concentration of POPs in atmosphere is influenced by 
      temperature and seasonal usage. High concentration of organochlorine pesticides 
      is observed in summer and the comparatively low level is detected in winter. For 
      PAHs, the trend is contrary. High volatility and long-range transport of POPs 
      lead to the global distribution of POPs and accumulation of POPs in remote areas. 
      High mountain is the "acceptor" of atmospheric POPs and cold condensation plays 
      the main role in capturing POPs in high elevation areas. Distribution, transport, 
      exchange direction and exchange flux of POPs among air/water, air/soil, air/snow 
      and air/vegetation interfaces are mainly controlled by temperature, precipitation 
      and characteristics of POPs. Models were developed on the basis of the effect of 
      these factors. Taken together the transport model and source analysis of POPs, 
      transport mechanism of POPs seems to be clearer. This paper reviewed the progress 
      about the above-mentioned scientific topics and discussed the deficiencies of 
      current researches. Furthermore, it pointed out the further work needed for the 
      study of atmospheric POPs in remote areas.
