Abstract
Current contents of persistent organic contaminants, polychlorinated biphen yls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the congeners (naph thalene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, chrysene , benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene and benzo(e)pyrene), DDTs and metaboli tes in the intertidal sediments of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea were st udied. The mean levels of DDTs, PAHs and PCBs were 177.52, 877.2 and 3.4 ng g(-1) dry weight, respectively. The spatial trends of the contaminant resi due levels were analysed too.
