Abstract

The paper presents the long-term investigation of biogeochemical regularities of the ingress, distribution, and accumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the basin of Lake Baikal and the Selenga River on the territory of Russia and Mongolia. Academician V. A. Koptyug became the initiator and head of these works since 1994. The research was co-carried out by staff members of the Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry and the Baikal Institute of Nature Management SB RAS within Russian and international expeditions. The GC/MS data of the qualitative and quantitative composition of POPs in environment objects and biota may be used for regional ecological-geochemical and ecological-hygienic assessments of the environmental state, effective identification of sources and areas of anthropogenic environmental impact strengthening and weakening, design of bioaccumulative POPs models for aquatic ecosystems and environmental risk assessment.
