Considerable amounts of deposited persistent organic pollutants (POPs); such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and penta- and hexachlorobenzene (PeCB and HCB) are stored in the Arctic cryosphere. In recent years, more attention has been directed to the potential re-mobilization of these contaminan...
