AB  - This paper summarizes a 4-year survey focused on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 
      (PAHs) and halogenated persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in river sediments, 
      soil and crops collected in the locality impacted by catastrophic floods that 
      occurred in the western part of Bohemia in August 2002. In spite of relatively 
      high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in river sediments, the increase 
      of these POPs in flooded arable soil was not significant. On the other hand, 
      remarkably higher levels of PAHs and dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDTs) were 
      found as compared to those in reference soil samples. Regardless of this 
      increased soil pollution, no measurable elevated concentrations of POPs occurred 
      in the wheat grown in this area.
