| Abstract: | Purpose Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are of global concern due to their ubiquitous presence and toxicity. The occurence of
polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), -dibenzofurans (PCDFs), co-planar biphenyls (PCBs), hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCH),
dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDT), and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in forest soil collected from Taurus mountains
may have adverse effects on the environment and health. The aim of the study was to investigate the outcome and distribution
of POPs in the environment and the possible grasshopper effect along an altitude transect from sea level up to nearly 2,000 m
a.s.l at a spatial distance of about 60 km in the southeastern Turkish Mediterranean Sea. |
