ABSTRACT
Industrial parks are a typical way for economic development in China, which has produced and consumed
most polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). All samples were collected around an industrial park
in May and October 2011, which are extracted XAD-2 and XAD-4 resin and tested by GC-MS (Agilent
7890A/5975C). The mean levels of Σ8PBDE in water, sediment, and soil are 5.53 ng/ml, 37.54 ng/g dw and
22.08 ng/g dw, respectively. In vegetable: Σ8PBDE of leaf, stem, and root in water hyacinth are 35.50 ng/g dw,
52.20 ng/g dw, and 55.30 ng/g dw, respectively; and 44.70 ng/g dw, 37.80 ng/g dw and 95.10 ng/g dw in crabgrass.
The level order of organs for vegetables are root > stem > leaf. The levels of PBDE of sediment effect
environment more significant than others. The BCF of Σ8PBDE in water hyacinth and crabgrass are 5.46 and
5.15. The mean ΣHQ of PBDE in sediment is 0.25, indicating low environmental risk.
