AB  - Due to their low temperatures, the Arctic, Antarctic and Tibetan Plateau are 
      known as the three polar regions of the Earth. As the most remote regions of the 
      globe, the occurrence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in these polar 
      regions arouses global concern. In this paper, we review the literatures on POPs 
      involving these three polar regions. Overall, concentrations of POPs in the 
      environment (air, water, soil and biota) have been extensively reported, with 
      higher levels of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and hexachlorocyclohexane 
      (HCH) detected on the Tibetan Plateau. The spatial distribution of POPs in air, 
      water and soil in the three polar regions broadly reflects their distances away 
      from source regions. Based on long-term data, decreasing trends have been 
      observed for most "legacy POPs". Observations of transport processes of POPs 
      among multiple media have also been carried out, including air-water gas 
      exchange, air-soil gas exchange, emissions from melting glaciers, 
      bioaccumulations along food chains, and exposure risks. The impact of climate 
      change on these processes possibly enhances the re-emission processes of POPs out 
      of water, soil and glaciers, and reduces the bioaccumulation of POPs in food 
      chains. Global POPs transport model have shown the Arctic receives a relatively 
      small fraction of POPs, but that climate change will likely increase the total 
      mass of all compounds in this polar region. Considering the impact of climate 
      change on POPs is still unclear, long-term monitoring data and global/regional 
      models are required, especially in the Antarctic and on the Tibetan Plateau, and 
      the fate of POPs in all three polar regions needs to be comprehensively studied 
      and compared to yield a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the 
      global cycling of POPs.
