AB  - In recent years, the climate change impact on the concentrations of persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs) has become a topic of notable concern. Changes in 
      environmental conditions such as the increase of the average temperature, or the 
      UV-B radiation, are likely to influence the fate and behavior of POPs, ultimately 
      affecting human exposure. The state of the art of the impact of climate change on 
      environmental concentrations of POPs, as well as on human health risks, is here 
      reviewed. Research gaps are also identified, while future studies are suggested. 
      Climate change and POPs are a hot issue, for which wide attention should be paid 
      not only by scientists, but also and mainly by policy makers. Most studies 
      reported in the scientific literature are focused on legacy POPs, mainly 
      polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs) and pesticides. However, the number of investigations aimed at 
      estimating the impact of climate change on the environmental levels of polycyclic 
      aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is scarce, despite of the fact that exposure to PAHs 
      and photodegradation byproducts may result in adverse health effects. 
      Furthermore, no data on emerging POPs are currently available in the scientific 
      literature. In consequence, an intensification of studies to identify and 
      mitigate the indirect effects of the climate change on POP fate is needed to 
      minimize the human health impact. Furthermore, being this a global problem, 
      interactions between climate change and POPs must be addressed from an 
      international perspective.
