OCCURENCE AND PROFILES OF CHLORINATED AND BROMINATED PAHS IN SEDIMENTS FROM INDUSTRIAL AREAS IN JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES
Chlorinated and brominated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Cl-/Br-PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants in the urban environment. Nevertheless, there is little information available regarding the occurrence and profiles of Cl-/Br-PAHs in environmental matrices. In this study, the concentrations and profiles of 20 ClPAHs, 11 BrPAHs, and 16 U.S.EPA priority PAHs were determined in sediments from waterbodies near industrialized areas: Tokyo Bay, Japan; the Saginaw River watershed, Michigan, USA; a former chlor-alkali plant, Georgia, USA; and the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site, Massachusetts, USA. Blue mussels from the later site were measured. We calculated dioxin-like toxic equivalents (TEQs) of Cl-Br-PAHs. The concentrations and TEQs of Cl-/Br-PAHs in sediments were compared with previously reported concentrations of TEQs of PCDD/Fs, PCBs, and PCNs in Tokyo Bay and in Saginaw River watershed, to enable un understanding of distribution and potential toxic effectes of complex mixture of organohalogen compounds.
