AB  - High mountains may act as cold traps for globally transported persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) and mercury (Hg). In the present study, 60 fish samples were 
      collected from eight alpine lakes across the Tibetan Plateau. Concentrations of 
      polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), total mercury (HgT) and methyl mercury 
      (MeHg) were quantified in the fish muscle tissues to improve the understanding of 
      pollution status and factors regulating the transport and fate of these 
      contaminants on the Plateau. The results showed that lake-averaged  summation operator(14)PBDEs 
      concentration was between 0.09 ng g(-1) dw and 4.32 ng g(-1) dw, which was lower 
      than those reported for European mountains. The total mercury concentration in 
      individual fish ranged from 243 to 2384 ng g(-1) dw, and that of MeHg from 131 to 
      1,610 ng g(-1) dw, which is much higher than those reported in other mountain 
      fish. The spatial variation of PBDEs and mercury in the Plateau is largely 
      controlled by the specific meteorological patterns.
