“…The dl-PCBs PCB-77, PCB-105 and PCB-118 provided 0%-8.6%, 1.3%-3.1%, and 3.3%-7.6% of the total PCB concentrations, respectively. The congener profiles were close to those found in similar environments (Blais et al, 1998;Weiss et al, 2000;Estellano et al, 2008). As for the elevation gradient distribution, PCBs showed a similar tendency with PCDD/Fs in some relatively high levels of congeners, such as PCB-28, PCB-52, PCB-101 and total PCBs (Fig.…”

“…Therefore, the correlations probably indicate that DDTs, HCHs and HCB have some similar sources within the study area. The studies of OCPs in remote Austrian forest soils (Weiss et al 2000) and Beijing urban soils (Li et al 2006c) drew similar conclusions. The concentrations of γ-HCH had no correlation with ΣDDT concentrations.…”

Concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs; dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs), hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB)) were investigated in 105 soil samples collected in vicinity of the chemical industrial parks in Tianjin, China. OCP concentrations significantly varied in the study area, high HCH and DDT levels were found close to the chemical industrial parks. The intensity of agricultural activity and distance from the potential OCP emitters have important influences on the OCP residue distributions. Principal component analysis indicates that HCH pollution is a mix of historical technical HCH and current lindane pollution and DDT pollution input is only due to technical DDT sources. The significant correlations of OCP compounds reveal that HCHs, DDTs and HCB could have some similar sources of origin.

“…DDTs and HCH concentrations in soil are comparable or lower than in Lake Baikal Region (Mamontov et al, 2004), in forest soil of background areas of Austria (nd-22 ng/g and 0.6 -6.6 ng/g, accordingly) (Weiss et al, 2000), in mountain areas of Europe (1.7 -13 and 0.08 -0.49 ng/g, accordingly) (Grimalt et al, 2004), and considerably lower than in rural soil from China (Guangzhou) (3.58 -830 and 0.19 -42 ng/g, accordingly) (Chen et al, 2005).…”

Persistent organic pollutants (PCBs and OCP) in air and soil from Ulaanbaatar and the Lake Hovsgol region, Mongolia

The investigations of POPs in soil and air in three urban and rural sites of the Mongolia are presented. The POPs distribution in air repeats the POPs distribution in soil on the area investigated. The POPs levels in soil and air are lower than maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) and preliminary permissible concentrations (PPC) of PCBs and OCP accepted in Russia. POPs levels in Mongolian soil obtained in the investigation are comparable with those from background areas of the world. POPs levels in Mongolian air are in the frame of concentrations found in the world. The PCB homological pattern in soil near electric power station in Ulaanbaatar is close to homological pattern in PCB technical mixture (Sovol or Arochlor 1254). The homological patterns in soil from other sites changed due to the redistribution of PCB congeners in the environment. The ratio of DDT and its metabolites indicates fresh entrance of DDT in the environment of Mongolia due to the atmospheric transboundary transport from countries using DDT (China, India) or from local agricultural sources. Hazard indexes in result from human exposure with POPs in soil and air are lower by 2-4 orders than 1 that denotes the possible default of disturbances in target organ and system. CR under the same scenario corresponds to the first diapason that is taken by population as negligible risk, not differ from usual everyday risks. Such risks don’t require additional measures for the reducing of risks and their levels are a subject of periodical control. The necessity of additional investigation of POPs distribution and the fate in Mongolian environment is indicated.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5564/mjc.v12i0.176 Mongolian Journal of Chemistry Vol.12 2011: 69-77
