AB  - There are limited data on persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the soils of 
      the Tibetan Plateau. This paper presents data from a survey of organochlorine 
      pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl 
      ethers (PBDEs) in 40 background surface (0-5 cm) soils of the Tibetan Plateau. 
      Soil concentrations (pg/g, dw) ranged as follows: DDTs, 13-7700; HCHs, 64-847; 
      HCB, 24-564; sum of 15 PCBs, 75-1021; and sum of 9 PBDEs, below detection limit 
      -27. Soil DDT, HCB, PCB and PBDE concentrations were strongly influenced by soil 
      organic carbon content. HCH concentrations were clearly associated with the 
      proximity to source regions in south Asia. The air-soil equilibrium status of 
      POPs suggested the Tibetan soils may be partial "secondary sources" of HCB, low 
      molecular weight PCBs and HCHs and will likely continue to be "sinks" for the 
      less volatile DDE and DDT.
