Description	DDT sources in central, western and northern Europe are localized using monitoring data. Lifetimes at a high mountain site for p,p’-DDT, -DDE and -DDD are partly significantly lower than estimated. By global multicompartmental modelling of the atmospheric and oceanic transports the total global 'life cycle', 1950-2000, geographic and multicompartmental distributions and the significance of re-volatilisation for long-range transport ('grasshopping') are assessed.
