More than 100 volatile organic compounds of natural and man-made origin were identified and determined in air samples collected in forest and remote areas. The combined use of carbon adsorption traps and high-resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry made possible the selective determination of polar compounds such as organic acids, alcohols and carbonyl compounds by selected-ion detection. A comparison between the distribution and composition of volatile organic components recorded in Northern Europe, the Mediterranean basin and the Himalaya region seem to be indicative of the ubiquitous occurrence of some polar organic compounds of biogenic origin. The determinations carried out in the Italian Station built by the National Research Council (CNR) of Italy at the foot of Mount Everest show clearly that, under favourable conditions, substantial amounts of organic pollutants of man-made origin can be transported over unpolluted areas.
