AB  - Polyhalogenated carbazoles (PHCZs), are considered as potential persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs), which have been frequently detected in the 
      environment. However, the altitudinal distribution characteristics and possible 
      sources of PHCZs in high mountain soils are still unknown. The present study was 
      the first to analyze PHCZs in soil samples collected along the eastern slope of 
      Mt. Qionglai (MQ), the east edge of the Tibetan Plateau. The concentration of 
      SigmaPHCZs (based on dry weight) ranges from 14.4 to 107 ng/g (median value of 40.9), 
      which was at high end of the range reported in soils and sediments to date in the 
      literature. The composition profiles of PHCZs in the soils of MQ were dominated 
      by 3,6-dichlorocarbazole (36-CCZ), 3-chlorocarbazole (3-CCZ), and 
      2-bromocarbazole (2-BCZ). The mean TOC-normalized concentrations of SigmaPHCZs in 
      soil samples from below-treeline (2092 ng/g TOC) were higher than those from 
      alpine meadow (1124 ng/g TOC), probably due to the forest filter effect. The 
      decreasing trend of the PHCZs TOC-normalized concentrations with altitude shows 
      that accumulation of PHCZs from the alpine meadow samples was not affected by the 
      mountain cold-trapping effect. Significantly positive correlations were observed 
      between the concentrations of more than half of detected PHCZ congeners and TOC. 
      In addition, PHCZs show the potential to represent a class of POPs with the 
      frequent occurrence and wide distribution, as the abundance and environmental 
      behavior of PHCZs are similar to some POPs in MQ.
