A comparison of the modelling results of persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) chemicals is presented with measurements. Contribution will present mean annual concentrations calculated and observed at EMEP stations and their ratios. The comparison of the calculated results with older results indicates that the model modification improved the agreement with measurement data. PBT compounds in ambient air are monitored in the area of Kosetice observatory (professional observatory of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute located in south Bohemia). Calculated and measured mean annual concentrations of PBTs in precipitation, soil, vegetation and their ratios are presented. It should be mentioned that the number of measurements in such compartments as seawater, soil and vegetation is insufficient for model verification at present. The agreement between results from MSC-East models and results from long-term regional air background monitoring in Central Europe is good.
