AB  - Antarctica is considered as a final sink of many persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs). This work aims to investigate the levels, distributions and potential 
      sources of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) with HRGC/HRMS technique. 
      Twenty-three OCPs were measured in various environmental matrices from King 
      George Island, west Antarctica. The total concentrations (Sigma23OCPs) were at quite 
      low levels, ranging 93.6-1260 pg g(-1) dry weight (dw) in soil and sediment, 
      223-1053 pg g(-1) dw in moss and 373-812 pg g(-1) dw in lichen. Hexachlorobenzene 
      (HCB), dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites (especially 
      p,p'-DDE) and hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) were the main contaminants in all 
      samples. Lower alpha-HCH/gamma-HCH and higher p,p'-DDE/p,p'-DDT ratios compared with the 
      technical products indicated long-range atmospheric transport (LRAT) of recent 
      lindane and aged technical DDT. Significant dependence of many OCPs 
      concentrations on total organic carbon (TOC) was observed. Apart from LRAT, local 
      biotic activities could also contribute and influence the spatial distribution of 
      the contaminants.
