Assessing the seasonality of the distribution of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in water and plankton of a subalpine lake.

POPs have become a major concern because of their diffusion, toxicity, persistence and ability to bioaccumulate. Once they enter the water ecosystem, POPs generally persist long time and their fate is largely controlled by the partitioning with suspended or dissolved organic carbon. Internal flu...
