title: The susceptibility of organic contaminants to undergo 'cold-trapping' at high elevations--where a combination of cooler air temperatures and higher rates of precipitation serve to enhance chemical deposition--is a real concern, with some evidence to show an increase in certain contaminants at higher altitudes relative to lowland regions.
