Spatial and temporal distribution, fluxes, and budgets of organochlorinated compounds in Northwest Mediterranean sediments
A total of 30 northwest Mediterranean surficial sediment samples collected in the prodeltas of the Rhone and Ebro Rivers, continental shelf, slope, and deep basin were analyzed for 12 individual PCB congeners, chlorinated diphenylethane pesticides and hexachlorobenzene. The major accumulation of org...

Summary: | A total of 30 northwest Mediterranean surficial sediment samples collected in the prodeltas of the Rhone and Ebro Rivers, continental shelf, slope, and deep basin were analyzed for 12 individual PCB congeners, chlorinated diphenylethane pesticides and hexachlorobenzene. The major accumulation of organochlorinated compounds was found to occur in the prodelta areas with an apparent decrease in the Rhone area during the last 15 years. |
