Measurements of POPs in Air and Water on a Transect Across the Atlantic Ocean
In 1999/2000 air and seawater samples have been collected simultaneously during two RV Polarstern cruises between Bremerhaven and Neumayer Station (Ekström Ice Shelf, 70°S/8.2°W) and between Bremerhaven and Ny-Alesund, Svalbard (79°N/12°E). The samples have been analyzed for selected persistent orga...
