摘 要: | Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are semi-volatile chemicals that are toxic to wildlife and human. Typical POPs include most organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs), etc. Most POPs are hydrophobic, capable of accumulating and existing for a long time in the sediments. Well preserved, laminated sediment layers hence can serve as archives for POP pollution history in the sediment pool. Rapid economic growth has taken place since the early 1980s in most parts of China, of which the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and the Pan-Bohai Bay took the lead. Along with the brilliant regional economic development, the environmental quality has been severely deteriorated. For a more sustainable economic and social development, it is of vital need to understand the relationship between regional economic development and environmental pollution.
