AB  - In order to provide more conclusive evidence of monsoon-driven transport of 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and assess the 
      potential influence of forests on the fate of these pollutants, passive air 
      samplers were consecutively deployed during 2008-2011 on Sygera Mountain 
      (3800 m-4400 m). Higher DDTs levels were observed in the monsoon season 
      (20.5-57.4 pg m(-3)) than the non-monsoon season (9.2-27.4 pg m(-3)), which 
      confirmed that the Indian monsoon plays a key role in driving the atmospheric 
      transport of DDTs to the TP. The similar DDT isomer ratios to the South Asia 
      further suggested that Sygera Mountain is likely a receptor region of Indian 
      subcontinent. By comparing the difference in concentrations between forest and 
      clearing sites, it was found that the forest canopy can reduce airborne DDTs by a 
      factor of 2, indicating strong absorption of DDTs by the Tibetan forest.
