Overview of persistent organic pollution (PAHs, Me-PAHs and PCBs) in freshwater sediments from Northern France

Distribution and Source of Sedimentary Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs) in River Sediment of Jakarta

“…The total concentration of PAHs from this study was higher than that of most rivers in Malaysia [13][14][15], Luan River estuary, China [16] and Yangtze River Estuary, China [17]. The highest total PAHs concentration in Jakarta's river was lower than that Bharalu River, India [18] and Scarpe Rivers, Northern France [19]. Fig.…”

Particulate PAHs and n-alkanes in the air over Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Sea

“…These investigations were focused on both macro and micro-components, inorganic and organic substances, gaseous compounds, semi-volatile and particulate species. Nevertheless, rather than to marine air attention was overall paid to sea water (dissolved and suspended materials: Maldonado et al, 1999;Campanelli et al, 2004;Nizzetto et al, 2008;Berrojalbiz et al, 2011;Castro-Jim enez et al, 2012;Marrucci et al, 2013;Siemers et al, 2015), sediments (Gogou et al, 2000;Tsapakis et al, 2006;Cardellicchio et al, 2007;Perra et al, 2011;Acquavita et al, 2012Acquavita et al, , 2014Marini and Frapiccini, 2013;Net et al, 2015) and sea/air interface (Marty et al, 1988;Manodori et al, 2006;Lohmann et al, 2009;Guitart et al, 2010;Mulder et al, 2014).…”

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal‐assisted phytoremediation of soil contaminated with persistent organic pollutants: a review

“…In Stockholm in 2001, representatives from 92 countries agreed to sign the Stockholm Convention on POPs to reduce or eliminate the release of 12 POP substances, namely the dirty dozen: aldrin, endrin, chlordane, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), dieldrin, heptachlor, mirex, toxaphene, hexachlorobenzene (HCB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) (Fiedler, ; El‐Shahawi et al ., ). This list was completed in 2009 by chlordecone, alpha‐hexachlorocyclohexane, beta‐hexachlorocyclohexane, gamma‐hexachlorocyclohexane (or lindane), hexabromobiphenyl, pentachlorobenzene, tetrabromodiphenyl ether, pentabromodiphenyl ether, hexabromodiphenyl ether, heptabromodiphenyl ether and perfluorooctane, and in 2011 by endosulfan (Fiedler et al ., ; Sharma et al ., ; Net et al ., ). Related chemical classes include the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).…”
