TI  - Comparability of long-term temporal trends of POPs from co-located active and 
      passive air monitoring networks in Europe.

AB  - The comparability of data from active (ACT) and passive sampling (PAS) of 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in air is hindered by uncertainties related 
      to the derivation of sampling rates and concentrations, as well as differences in 
      the duration, volume and frequency of sampling. Although data from ACT have been 
      used extensively in short-term PAS calibration studies, no attempts have been 
      made to evaluate the comparability of long-term trends calculated from PAS to 
      established ACT trends. This is crucial, as continuous long-term ACT is 
      unfeasible in most regions of the world. To address these challenges, we 
      calculated and compared trends for organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), 
      polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) at 
      the six sites in Europe with at least 5 years of co-located ACT and PAS data 
      (2012-2016): Birkenes, Kosetice, Pallas, Rao, Storhofethi and Zeppelin. Strong 
      agreement of ACT and PAS trends was observed for most OCPs and PCBs. Apart from 
      two PCBs at Storhofethi, all pairs of ACT and PAS trends followed the same 
      direction. However, differences in the magnitude, significance and confidence 
      intervals of their slopes were observed for some compounds and were primarily 
      attributed to the short duration of the PAS time series. Despite some 
      limitations, our results suggest that the comparability of ACT and PAS POP trends 
      will continue to improve with additional years of data. This study confirms the 
      suitability of PAS for the calculation of long-term POP trends in air, and 
      highlights the importance of continuous sampling at established monitoring sites 
      with consistent analytical methods.
