“…As confirmed by many researches, the high mountain regions are especially susceptible to the deposition of many industrial and agricultural pollutants undergoing atmospheric transport, through a process called orographic cold trapping (Hageman et al 2015;Arellano et al 2015). The influence of long-range transport of air pollutants on O 3 concentration in the High Tatra Mts.…”

In this work, the response of temperate coniferous forests to ozone air pollution (O 3 ) recommended for the protection of spruce forests were exceeded at all experimental plots from early July. Similarly, AOT40 index suggests vulnerability of mountain forests to O 3 pollution. AOT40 values increased with altitude and reached values varying from 6.2 ppm h in Stará Lesná (810 m a.s.l.) to 10.7 ppm h at Skalnaté Pleso close to the timber line (1,778 m a.s.l.). Concentration-based critical level (CLec) of 5,000 ppb h was exceeded from June to August and was different for each experimental site.)

“…Reservoir transitioned from the top sediment layer in winter to the water-sediment interface in spring and then to the overlying water above sediment in summer, leading to the theory that weaker methylation in sediment was caused by excessive sulfide (∼15-20 μM) that reduced the mercury bioavailability.

“…There are some studies carried out in quantifying bulk atmospheric deposition of PAHs, PCBs and OCPs experimentally in Europe (e.g. Arellano et al 2015; Brorström-Lundén et al 1994; Carrera et al 2002; Jakobi et al 2015), while additional data are available for other regions, for example the USA (Schifman and Boving 2015), China (Feng et al 2017) and the global oceans (González-Gaya et al 2016). Moreover, additional data for wet deposition and washout ratios are available for Europe (Shahpoury et al 2015; Škrdlíková et al 2011).…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are ubiquitous and toxic contaminants. Their atmospheric deposition fluxes on the regional scale were quantified based on simultaneous sampling during 1 to 5 years at 1 to 6 background/rural sites in the Czech Republic and Austria. The samples were extracted and analysed by means of gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. For all seasons and sites, total deposition fluxes for Σ 15 PAHs ranged 23–1100 ng m −2 d −1 , while those for Σ6PCBs and Σ12OCPs ranged 64–4400 and 410–7800 pg m −2 d −1 , respectively. Fluoranthene and pyrene were the main contributors to the PAH deposition fluxes, accounting on average for 19% each, while deposition fluxes of PCBs and OCPs were dominated by PCB153 (26%) and γ -hexachlorobenzene (30%), respectively. The highest deposition flux of Σ 15 PAHs was generally found in spring, while no seasonality was found for PCB deposition. For deposition fluxes for Σ 12 OCPs, no clear spatial trend was found, confirming the perception of long-lived regional pollutants. Although most OCPs and PCBs hardly partition to the particulate phase in ambient air, on average, 42% of their deposition fluxes were found on filters, confirming the perception that particle deposition is more efficient than dry gaseous deposition. Due to methodological constraints, fluxes derived from bulk deposition samplers should be understood as lower estimates, in particular with regard to those substances which in ambient aerosols mostly partition to the particulate phase.
