Abstract

The monitoring analysis of 8 week period of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in the atmosphere of Pearl River Delta region was made using PUF passive sampling technique, to study the PBDEs content and distribution of the region. The inland sampling point PBDEs content was 62∼625pg/m³, with average value of 210pg/m³, in which Dong Guan (625pg/m³) and Fo Shan (560pg/m³) were high pollution regions, the discharge of industrial point source might be the main source of PBDEs in this region. The PBDEs content of Hong Kong was 92∼420pg/m³, with average value of 200pg/m³, in which the contents in High st (420pg/m³) and in Kwung tong (325pg/m³) were high relatively; the use of large amount of PBDEs burning resistive agent in history might be the main source of PBDEs residual in the atmosphere of Hong Kong region.
