AB  - Available data were reviewed to assess the status of contamination by persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs), including organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), 
      polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 
      polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), 
      perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), in drinking water 
      sources and coastal waters of China. The levels of POPs in China's waters were 
      generally at the high end of the global range. A comparison of China's regulatory 
      limits indicated that PCBs in rivers and coastal water may pose potential human 
      health risk. Occurrence of DDTs in some rivers of China may also pose health risk 
      to humans using the regulatory limits of DDTs recommended by the European Union. 
      Future monitoring of POPs in China's waters should be directed towards analytes 
      of concern (e.g. PCBs and PCDD/Fs) and to fill data gaps for analytes (e.g. 
      PBDEs, PCDD/Fs, and chlordane) and in watersheds/regions (e.g. West China) where 
      data are scarce.
