“…Among this growing body of existing research, several have focused on monitoring PCBs within the environment. For instance, Chen et al (1999), Wu et al (1999) and Yuan et al (2001b) investigated PCB levels in sediments from Chinese river/estuary systems, and PCB contaminations in various water organisms such as mussels was surveyed by Monirith et al (2003) and Fung et al (2004). While these studies have advanced our understanding of the nature of the problem posed by PCBs, a significant gap still exists in our knowledge of the extent and spatial character of the PCB situation in China.…”

“…HCB is not directly used in agriculture, but it is a byproduct of some pesticide production and can be released into the environment by leachates or formed during the incineration processes (Binelli and Provini 2003). The concentration range of t-CHL was 0.055-0.297 ng g −1 , which was lower than the concentration (0.17-9.91 ng g −1 ) reported by Fung et al (2004) in the east coast of China and the concentration (nd-2.28 ng g −1 ) reported by Jin et al (2008) in the northeastern coast of China. Some studies reported that t-CHL compounds were still used extensively in agriculture, gardens, buildings, etc.…”

“…Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that are released from the intensive agricultural and industrial activities have stressed the surrounding coastal ecosystems and have been regarded as one of the pollutant sources impacting the health of marine coastal environment and organisms (Fung et al 2004;Liu et al 2012). Previous studies have showed that the increased POPs along the Yantai coast could cause potential risk for the seafood (Wan et al 2005a;Liu et al 2008;Leng et al 2009).…”

“…[45] reported Cd was present in the effluent and had accumulated significantly in mussels' gills. Metals could pose a health risk to heavy seafood consumers [46]. The average concentration of heavy metals found in Mussels were 0.64 µg/g for Cd [47].…”
