Global monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has intensified following regulatory
efforts aimed at reducing their release. In this context, we compiled over 10,000 POP …

The global oceans are known as terminal sink or secondary source for diffusive emission of
organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and selected current used pesticides (CUPs) into the …

Elimination of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) under national and international controls
reduces “primary” emissions, but “secondary” emissions continue from residues deposited in …

The levels, fate, and potential sources of 22 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in coral
tissues and the surrounding air-seawater system from the South China Sea (SCS) were …

In the present study, we examine contamination with PCBs, HCB and PAHs in the seawater
of Arctic fjords (Hornsund, Kongsfjorden and Adventfjorden) which differ in environmental …

The Antarctic continent is among the most pristine regions; yet various organic contaminants
have been measured there routinely. Air and snow samples were collected during the …

The present three-year field investigation on sediment in the eutrophic Pearl River in South
China showed that concentrations of sulfonamides (SAs), fluoroquinolones (FQs), and …

Abstract From November 2013 to March 2014, air samples were collected in the Antarctic
marginal seas during the 30th Chinese Antarctic research expedition. Organochlorine …

Little is known of the distribution of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the deep ocean.
Polyethylene passive samplers were used to detect the vertical distribution of truly dissolved …

Eight fish species were sampled from a coastal coral reef ecosystem near Weizhou Island,
South China Sea, to investigate the composition profiles and bioaccumulation of …
