ARE CURRENT CONCENTRATIONS OF PHAS IN LARGE RESERVOIR SEDIMENTS AT LEVELS OF CONCERN FOR THE HEALTH OF AQUATIC BIOTA

摘要：

Introduction Polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAHs) represent a large family of highly lipophilic and environmentally persistent substances, of which polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are two subfamilies that were of great concern in the present study, PBBs and PBDEs are applied to a wide range of commercial products like electronic circuitry, textiles, and plastics to improve fire resistance (WHO, 1994a; b). Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were the third and last subfamily considered in the present study. PCBs are industrial chemicals that have been used from the 1930s to 1974 in electrical capacitors and transformers, as lubricants, cooling fluids, and hydraulic fluids, and also in adhesives and plasticizers (WHO, 1993).
