Anthropogenic Organic Pollutants in Precipitation

This data collection contains precipitation concentration data of anthropogenic organic pollutants in precipitation (AOPP). Some of these AOPPs reported in this data collection are considered toxic substances (e.g. polychlorinated biphenyls, PCBs; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs; some flame retardants; and some organochlorine pesticides, OCs).

For additional data on pollutants in air, also see the data collection of Anthropogenic Organic Pollutants in Air. For additional data on pollutants in precipitation, also see the data collection of Metals in Precipitation.
