| Title: | Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in bottom sediments from the Baltic Sea |
| Authors: | Sapota Grażyna |
| Abstract: | The aim of this work was to describe the level of pollution due to highly persistent polychlorinated contaminants in sediments from the Polish zone of the Baltic Sea and to identify trends of temporal change. Concentrations of PCBs (7 congeners), DDT and its metabolites, and isomers of HCH and HCB were determined in sediment cores from 0 to 31 cm deep. Sediments were sampled twice at eight stations during the 1996-2005 period. The measurements confirm a decline in levels of POPs pollution in sediments from the southern Baltic Sea. |
