Abstract Following up-to-date initiatives of the Stockholm Convention, its global monitoring plan, and the International Cooperative Programme on Natural Vegetation and Crops (ICP Vegetation 2015) under the convention on long-range transboundary air pollution, this study examined 17 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and seven organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in the moss Hypnum cupressiforme Hedw. and topsoil sampled across Serbia. In the topsoil, OCPs ranged from 0.0158 to 9.6804 ng g−1 while concentrations of individual PCB congeners
were in the range between 0.0185 and 0.3107 ng g−1. The levels of OCPs and PCBs in the moss H. cupressiforme ranged from 2.7785 to 23.9501 ng g−1, and from 0.4325 to 15.8013 ng g−1, respectively. POP relationships between topsoil and moss investigated by fugacity model equations indicated that the moss POP enrichment was a result of atmospheric longrange transport rather than secondary reemissions from soil.

Introduction Air compartments are a part of environment which are important for the environmental distribution and fate of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). The atmosphere is most often exposed to POPs released from various sources, which include a range of substances such as organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, currently or previously used in agriculture, industry or disease control. The PCBs and OCPs are the two most studied contaminant groups because they persist in all parts of the environment, alt
