AB  - The concern about emissions of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and 
      dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polybrominated 
      diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) from steel industrial parks has increased in the past 
      decades. In this study, polyurethane foam (PUF)-disk based passive air samples 
      were collected in and around a big steel industrial park of Anshan, Northeast 
      China from June 2008 to March 2009. The levels, seasonal variations and potential 
      sources of PCDD/Fs, PCBs and PBDEs in the atmosphere around the steel industrial 
      complex were investigated, and potential contribution of these three groups of 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from iron and steel production was also 
      assessed. The air concentrations of  summation operator(17)PCDD/Fs (summer: 0.02-2.77 pg m(-3); 
      winter: 0.20-9.79 pg m(-3)),  summation operator(19)PCBs (summer: 23.5-155.8 pg m(-3); winter: 
      14.6-81.3 pg m(-3)) and  summation operator(13)PBDEs (summer: 2.91-10.7 pg m(-3); winter: 1.10-3.89 
      pg m(-3)) in this targeted industrial park were relatively low in comparison to 
      other studies, which implied that the industrial activities of iron and steel had 
      not resulted in serious contamination to the ambient air in this area. On the 
      whole, the air concentrations of PCDD/Fs in winter were higher than those of 
      summer, whereas the concentrations of PCBs and PBDEs showed opposite trends. The 
      result from principal component analysis indicated that coal combustion might be 
      the main contributor of PCDD/F sources in this area.
