Abstract
The results of a study of the contamination of a peat deposit of a representative oligotrophic bog complex (Primorsky district of the Arkhangelsk region) with persistent organic pollutants of polychlorobenzenes and pentachlorophenol are presented. Data on the quantitative content, composition and depth distribution of organochlorine pollutants have been obtained. The maximum amounts of polychlorobenzenes, pentachlorophenol and other chlorinated phenols in the upper 40-centimeter aerated layer of the peat deposit, the formation of which coincides with the period of “chlorine chemistry”, have been established. In addition, the presence of polychlorobenzenes and pentachlorophenol was revealed in all horizons of the upper meter layer of the peat deposit, which indicates their vertical migration in the peat body.
