文摘

Surfactants are the most predominant contaminants in PRE sediments followed by PAHs. Highest concentrations were found near Guangzhou city and Macao. Wastewater discharges are a major source of contamination, except for UV filters. Triisobutylphosphate and 2-ethylxheyldiphenylphospate are detected for the first time. Legacy contaminants still pose a significant risk for the benthic communities at PRE.
