AB  - Over the past few decades, the Tibetan Plateau (TP) region has become gradually 
      contaminated by persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The picture regarding POPs 
      is clear in the central and southern parts of the TP; however, few observational 
      campaigns have focused on the western TP. To clarify the concentrations, seasonal 
      trends and source regions of POPs in the western TP, a first study of POPs in 
      Muztagh Ata (westerly region) and a long-term (5 years) monitoring program in 
      Ngari (transect region influenced by both the Indian monsoon and westerly 
      climate) were conducted. Except for hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs), relatively low POP levels were observed in the western TP. In 
      Muztagh Ata, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) showed higher concentrations 
      in winter and lower ones in summer, whereas at Ngari, higher DDTs and 
      hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) concentrations were observed in summer as compared 
      with winter. Source diagnosis indicated that Xinjiang and central Asia were the 
      main source regions for POPs in Muztagh Ata and that westerly winds play a key 
      role in transporting POPs from central Asia. No correlation was found between the 
      height of the atmospheric boundary layer and the concentrations of POPs over the 
      TP.
