With the exception of endosulfan I, mean concentrations (pg m (-3)) of OCPs at background sites were consistently low: 5.4 +/- 1.4 for alpha-HCH, 7.0 +/- 1.1 for gamma-HCH, 2.5 +/- 0.5 for TC, 2.5 +/- 0.6 for CC, 1.9 +/- 1.2 for dieldrin, and less than 3.5 for toxaphene.

A local hotspot of endosulfan was identified at an agricultural area in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, with a annual mean concentration of SigmaENDO (endosulfans I + II + endosulfan sulfate) = 26,800 pg m (-3).

The average concentrations of alpha and gamma- hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), heptachlor (HEPT), alpha-endosulfan, p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDE, p,p'-DDD, and o,p'-DDT in the air were 74 and 46, 47, 53, 307, 124, 212, 36, and 767 pg m (-3), respectively.

The mean concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in the samples were 19.2, 11.2, 7.7, 8.9, 10.4, 27.6, 5.1, 5.1, and 3.7 pg m (-3) for alpha-HCH, beta-HCH, gamma-HCH, HCB, heptachlor, alpha-endosulfan, p,p'-DDE, o,p'-DDT, and p,p'-DDT, respectively.

Derived air concentrations (pg/m (3)) ranged as follows: DDTs, 5-75; HCHs, 0.1-36; alpha-endosulfan, 0.1-10; HCB, 2.8-80; sum of 15 PCBs, 1.8-8.2; and sum of 9 PBDEs, 0.1-8.3.

A total of 50 single compounds consisting of polychlorinated biphenyls (33 congeners), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (alpha-, beta-, gamma-HCH), alpha-endosulfan, cyclodiene pesticides (chlordanes, nonachlor-isomers, oxy-chlordane, heptachlor and chlordane) as well as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) derivatives were analysed and quantified.
The highest concentration levels for a single compound were found for HCB (25-35 pg m (-3)).

SOC of present use, like HCHs and endosulfans, were found in higher concentrations in the warm periods, 32-46 and 4-10 pg m (-3) in the gas + particulate phases, respectively, reflecting their seasonal pattern of use in many European countries.

Advective inputs of endosulfan from regional or more distant agricultural regions can explain the relatively uniform concentrations with elevation throughout the study period.
For instance, alpha- and gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane exhibited higher concentrations (60-80 pg m (-3), respectively) near the ground during the spring and early summer, suggesting that surface-air exchange within the city or nearby Lake Ontario may be important sources.

Total OCPs of PM2.5 and PM10 ranged from 32.59 pg m (-3) to 9232.31 pg m (-3) and 80.96 pg m (-3) to 9434.97 pg m (-3), respectively, categorized as heavier pollution compared to other cities of China.

This was associated with either (i) their local and/or regional application (gamma-HCH, endosulfan) and (ii) their revolatilization (chlordanes, DDT isomers, dieldrin, and toxaphene).
