| Abstract: | "We investigated the pollution characteristics of ninety semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in the rivers and lakes of Shanghai. Total concentrations of Sigma(90)SVOCs in water and sediment samples from 30 sites ranged from 1.47 to 19.5 mug/L and 2.38 to 9.48 mg/kg, respectively. PAEs and PAHs were the major contaminant compounds found in all samples. OCPs accounted for less than 3% of the total concentrations of Sigma(90)SVOCs and other SVOCs were either not detected or only detected in trace amounts. Our results indicated that domestic swage, industrial wastewater, petroleum products, and other human activities were the pollutant sources to the water and sediment. It is noteworthy that products that contain the banned chemicals HCH and DDT are still under use within the studied areas. Ecological and health risk assessment results showed that dieldrin and BBP have the potential to cause adverse effects on the environment, while B(a)p and DBP have high carcinogenic risks to humans" |
