The seasonal and regional variability of organic contaminants in atmospheric precipitation has been investigated in the Sosnowiec region (Upper Silesia, southern Poland) for a twelve-month period during 2002 and 2003. Contaminants were isolated by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to compare the chemical composition of organic contamination and the semi-quantitative content of selected compound groups. During the heating season, the dominating source of pollution is coal combusted in the region. Characteristics of organic contamination in precipitation sampled after the heating season indicate they are related to traffic emission. Regional differences between organic pollutant content suggest that the low emitters, for example individual house fires, are important source of organic contamination in the Upper Silesia agglomeration.
