AB  - The main objective of the present study was to determine and differentiate the 
      concentration levels, to define the probable sources of persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) pollution in the atmospheric air and their seasonal variations 
      in Bulgaria, on the high mountain peak Moussala, Rila Mountain. The study was 
      based on the obtained results from the passive monitoring of POPs in 2014-2017. 
      During this period, the measurements of POPs were performed with passive 
      samplers, advanced instrumental methods analytically determined the 
      concentrations of PAHs, and the analysis of the obtained data was performed by 
      the multivariate statistical analysis (cluster, factor and time-series analysis). 
      It is shown that the POPs species could be correctly classified according to 
      their chemical nature into several patterns of similarity and their concentration 
      profile depends on the annual season.
