Project tocoen ‐ the fate of selected organic pollutants in the environment part XXI. ‐ The contents of PAHs, PCBs, PCDDs/Fs in sediments from Danube river catchment area

Abstract
As a part of cooperation between Chemical Time Bombs Program and Project TOCOEN, the contamination of sediments in Moravian and Slovakian part of Danube river catchment area by PAHs, PCBs, PCDDs/Fs was determined. The total contents of PAHs ranged between 25.5 and 4,690.3 ng•g‐1, PCBs between 4.9 and 232 ng•g‐1 and PCDDs/Fs were detected at one site in concentration 0.0005 pg•g‐1 TEQ.
