AB  - Two monitoring campaigns were conducted in northern Algeria to assess the 
      contamination level of pesticides and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in 
      ambient air. Six pesticides (alpha- and gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane, fenitrothion, 
      malathion, chlorpyrifos and lambda-cyhalothrin) were monitored at two different 
      sampling locations during the first campaign. The passive sampling was performed 
      at a semi urban/industrial site but also in a rural area between July to 
      September 2008. The pesticides levels, analyzed by GC/MS/MS, ranged from 16 pg 
      m(-3) to 11 ng m(-3). The second campaign was carried out from May to November 
      2009. The polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like 
      polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) concentrations were evaluated at an 
      urban/industrial and at an industrial site. The PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs, analyzed by 
      HRGC/HRMS, ranged from 249 to 923 fg TEQ m(-3). In addition to passive sampling, 
      active sampling using an isokinetic sampler was also performed at an industrial 
      waste incinerator. The PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs found was 268 pg TEQ m(-3). This paper 
      presents the first measurements of PCDD/Fs, dl-PCBs and pesticides in rural, 
      urban and industrial areas of northern Algeria.
