AB  - Limited studies on bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) along 
      terrestrial food chains were conducted. The food chain air-grass-yak (butter) in 
      the pasture region of Namco in the central Tibetan Plateau (TP) was chosen for 
      study. The air, grass and butter POPs in the TP were at the lower end of the 
      concentrations generally found around the globe. HCB was the main pollutant in 
      air and butter. Besides HCB, beta-HCH and p,p'-DDE were the other major compounds in 
      butter. Along the food chain, DDTs and high molecular weight PCB-138, 153 and 180 
      had higher Biological Concentration Factor values. The air-butter transfer 
      factors of POPs were derived and demonstrated the practical advantage in 
      predicting the atmospheric OCPs and PCBs to the TP. This study sheds light on the 
      transfer and accumulation of POPs along the terrestrial food chain of the TP.
