Source Identification of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Tokyo Bay Sediment
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction To employ improved countermeasures against PCB sources and to reduce the risk to aquatic biota, it is important to identify sources and migration pathways and ascertain their contribution to PCB pollution . Thus, a wider range of studies is required to identify potential PCB sources in the environment. The objective of this study is to identify PCB pollution sources affecting Tokyo Bay sediment and estimate source contributions.

Source and behavior analyses of dioxins based on congener-specific information and their application to Tokyo Bay basin.
Identification of pollution sources and estimation of their contribution to dioxin pollution are important for taking better countermeasures against such sources. The information based on seventeen 2,3,7,8-chlorine-substituted congeners and 10 homologues is usually not sufficient for source identification. The usefulness of detailed congener-specific information of tetra- to octachlorinated pol...
متن کاملSpatial distribution and partitioning of polychlorinated biphenyls in Tokyo Bay, Japan.
Spatial distributions and partitioning of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in Tokyo Bay, Japan, were evaluated by measuring the concentrations of all 209 PCB congeners in surface and bottom waters and bottom sediment at 10 locations. The dissolved + particulate summed congener concentrations (SigmaPCB [sum of the concentrations of all 209 PCB congeners]) in surface and bottom waters ranged from...
متن کاملQuantitative identification of sources of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in sediments by a factor analysis model and a chemical mass balance model combined with Monte Carlo techniques.
The major sources of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in two sediment cores from Tokyo Bay and Lake Shinji (both in Japan) were identified and their source contributions estimated using two receptor models. The first was a nonnegative constrained factor analysis (FA) model, and the second was a nonnegative constrained chemical mass balance model combined with Monte Carlo techniques ...
متن کاملSource Identification and Health Risk Assessment of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in Surface Soils from Vicinity of Arad-Kouh Processing and Disposal Complex, Tehran
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can adversely affect human and environmental health according to long-term half-life and persistence in the environment. Therefore, this study was conducted to detect, identify, and health risk assessment of PCBs in surface soils collected from the vicinity of Arad-Kouh processing and disposal complex, Tehran, in 2020. A total of 30 surface soil samples was coll...

Sediment cores of known chronology from Richardson and San Pablo Bays in San Francisco Bay. CA, were analyzed for a suite of chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls to reconstruct a historic record of inputs. Total DDTs (DDT = 2,4'and 4,4'-dichlorodiphenylmchloroethane and the metabolites, 2.4'and 4,4'-DDE, -DDD) range in concentration from 4-21 ng/g and constitute a ma...
