National Environmental Monitoring Programme in Sweden. Measurements of persistant organic pollutants in air and precipitation are carried out at Råö, Hallahus, Aspvreten, and in Pallas (Northern Finland). The monitoring programme includes measurements of: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), some pesticides (HCH, DDT) and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDE).

The data are reported to EU (CLRTAP)and European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP), OSPAR-CAMP and SMHI.
In co-operation with the Finnish Meteorolocal Institute (FMI), measurements are performed at Pallas in the far North of Finland close to the Swedish border.
The number of stations and their location as well as the frequency of measurements varies over time.
