The Global Monitoring Plan of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) was established to generate long-term data necessary for evaluating the effectiveness of regulatory measures at a global scale. After a decade of passive air monitoring (2008−2019), MONET is the first network to produce sufficient data for the analysis of longterm temporal trends of POPs in the African atmosphere.

Atmospheric concentrations and temporal trends of PCB 28 measured by co-located active (green) and passive (red) air sampling at the Birkenes monitoring station in Norway from 2004–2018.
