AB  - Numerous studies found the presence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in 
      various environmental compartments, including air, water, and soil. POPs have 
      been discovered in various industrial and agricultural products with severe 
      environmental and human health consequences. According to the data, South Korea 
      is a hotspot for POP pollution in the southern part of Asia; hence, South Korea 
      has implemented the Stockholm Convention's National Implementation Plan (NIP) to 
      address this worldwide issue. The purpose of this review is to assess the 
      distribution pattern of POPs pollution in South Korea's atmosphere. According to 
      findings, PAHs, PCBs, BFRs, and PBDEs significantly polluted the atmosphere of 
      South Korea; however, assessing their exposure nationwide is difficult due to a 
      shortage of data. The POPs temporal trend and meta-analysis disclosed no proof of 
      a decrease in PAHs and BFRs residues in the atmosphere. However, POP pollution in 
      South Korea tends to decrease compared to contamination levels in neighboring 
      countries like Japan and China.
