Description:
Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine (OC) pesticides (HCB, HCHs, CHLs, and DDTs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), alkylphenols (APs), and bisphenol A (BPA) were measured in 26 marine sediments collected from Yeongil Bay, Korea, in order to characterize their spatial distribution and sources. PCBs (2.85-26.5ng/g, dry wt.) were detected mainly in the inner bay locations Mean OC pesticide ranged from 1.16ng/g dry wt. for HCH to 0.05ng/g dry wt. for HCB). PAH concentrations ranged from
