AB  - Effective monitoring of atmospheric concentrations is vital for assessing the 
      Stockholm Convention's effectiveness on persistent organic pollutants (POPs). 
      This task, particularly challenging in polar regions due to low air 
      concentrations and temperature fluctuations, requires robust sampling techniques. 
      Furthermore, the influence of temperature on the sampling efficiency of 
      polyurethane foam discs remains unclear. Here we employ a flow-through sampling 
      (FTS) column coupled with an active pump to collect air samples at varying 
      temperatures. We delved into breakthrough profiles of key pollutants, such as 
      polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs), and 
      organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and examined the temperature-dependent 
      behaviors of the theoretical plate number (N) and breakthrough volume (V(B)) 
      using frontal chromatography theory. Our findings reveal a significant 
      relationship between temperature dependence coefficients (K(TN), K(TV)) and 
      compound volatility, with decreasing values as volatility increases. While 
      distinct trends are noted for PAHs, PCBs, and OCPs in K(TN), K(TV) values exhibit 
      similar patterns across all chemicals. Moreover, we establish a binary linear 
      correlation between log (V(B)/m(3)), 1/(T/K), and N, simplifying breakthrough 
      level estimation by enabling easy conversion between N and V(B). Finally, an 
      empirical linear solvation energy relationship incorporating a temperature term 
      is developed, yielding satisfactory results for N at various temperatures. This 
      approach holds the potential to rectify temperature-related effects and loss 
      rates in historical data from long-term monitoring networks, benefiting polar and 
      remote regions.
