摘要

Abstract

Samples of surface sediment were collected from Victoria Harbour

Hong Kong (Aug. 1992)

and Xiamen Western Bay (Nov. 1993)

and analysed for organochlorine (OC) pesticides (HCHs

DDTs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Concentration ranges of HCHs

DDTs and PCBs in the survey area of Victoria Harbour were from undetectable to 9.4 μg/kg

1.38–97 μg/kg and 3.2–81 μg/kg

respectively; those for Xiamen Western Bay were 0.14–1.12 μg/kg

4.45–311 μg/kg and 0.05–7.24 μg/kg

respectively. The determined residue levels and distribution patterns of these organochlorines are discussed

and the Harbour and Bay contamination levels are compared. Two sediment cores were collected (Oct. 1994) from Xiamen Western Bay for study on the vertical profiles and pollution history of the above contaminants. The vertical profile characteristics indicated that the inner part of Xiamen Western Bay was once polluted by PCBs moderately and that there are still new inputs of DDT.
