TI  - Vertical distributions of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) caused from 
      organochlorine pesticides in a sediment core taken from Ariake bay, Japan.
PG  - 456-63
AB  - Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) of organochlorine pesticides such as 
      dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDTs) and its metabolites, hexachlorobenzene 
      (HCB), heptachlor, chlordane compounds (CHLs), aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, mirex 
      and isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCHs), were analyzed in sediment cores 
      collected from Ariake Bay, Japan. Although Chikugo River has the largest flow in 
      Ariake Bay, the total concentration of POPs in surface sediment was found in 
      St.3, mouth of the Yabe River, where that level was two times higher than St.1, 
      mouth of the Chikugo River. It could be assumed that the potential source of POPs 
      contamination is relatively close to this study area. Relatively high residue 
      levels of HCB, HCHs and DDTs in sediment core were found during the period from 
      1967 to 1970. In this layer, the HCB concentration investigated in sediment cores 
      of Ariake Bay was maximum, 2.6 ng g(-1) dry weight and higher than that of Tokyo 
      Bay and subsequently detected in deeper sediment cores. The ratio of 
      (DDD+DDE)/SigmaDDTs was high in top sediments (0-2 cm). Although there was a 
      concentration of DDTs in the top sediment, it was noticed that DDT emission did 
      not cause direct input of DDT recently. The HCHs determined in upper sediment 
      cores might be originated from long-range accumulation in environment after 
      dispersing of technical-grade HCH. Moreover, the CHLs, dieldrin and heptachlor 
      concentrations were detected and recently increased in sediment core. POPs in 
      sediment cores of Ariake Bay based on the possibility of PCP contamination during 
      the early 1960s were reflected.
