Historical deposition of persistent organic pollutants in Lake Victoria and two alpine equatorial lakes from East Africa: Insights into atmospheric deposition from sedimentation profiles
Profiles in Lake Bujuku were less altered by local vegetation than in Lake Mahoma.
•
General decline of old POPs in recent sediments.
•
PCBs and DDTs were the most historically deposited in the mountain lakes.
•
DDTs had the highest average deposition flux in the core from Lake Victoria.
•
p,p′-DDE, ΣCHLs and HCB mainly atmospherically deposited in the Lake Victoria core.
