摘要

Abstract

The concentration and distribution of three persistent organic pollutants (hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs)

dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)) was assessed in tidal flat sediments collected from the south bank of Hangzhou Bay

China from 2009 to 2013. Gas chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) was used for analysis

based on United States Environmental Protection Agency methods EPA8080A

EPA8081B

and EPA3550B. The results showed that the levels of HCHs

DDTs and PCBs decreased in the order of DDTs < HCHs < PCBs

and their mass fractions ranged from 0.29–32.91

0.09–13.19 and 0.16–4.10 μg/kg (dry mass)

respectively. The levels of HCHs

DDTs and PCBs decreased slowly from 2009 to 2013

with considerably greater concentrations in winter than in spring and summer. In this study area

the concentrations of DDTs and HCHs decreased gradually towards the mouth of Hangzhou Bay

while the concentrations of PCBs were related to changes in the local economy. In addition

the sources of HCHs and DDTs were identified as atmospheric precipitation and historical residues. Finally

we predicted that PCBs pollution primarily originated from Aroclor 1254(Lot A4)

which might root in the illegal demolition and stacking of abandoned paint

transformer or electronic equipment in the south bank of Hangzhou Bay.
