AB  - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a group of persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs), are caused for concern recently due to their adverse health effects and 
      environmental ubiquity. In this study, atmospheric and soil PBDE levels in 
      Taizhou, one of the largest WEEE dismantling areas in the world, were measured, 
      ranging from 884 to 2791 pg m(-3) with an average of 1968 pg m(-3) for atmosphere 
      and 2.96 to 200 ng g(-1)dry weight (dw) with the mean of 65.2 ng g(-1)dw for 
      farmland soils, respectively. The close connection between soil PBDE accumulation 
      and atmospheric deposition was also revealed by the estimation of the annual PBDE 
      deposition flux (3.1 +/- 0.9 mg m(-2)a(-1)) and the similarity between deposited 
      congener pattern and soil congener profile. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) 
      was conducted to extract possible sources of farmland soil PBDEs and to calculate 
      their contributions. Based on the measured source profiles of PBDE-related 
      activities, five sources were identified representing WEEE dumping, WEEE 
      dismantling, WEEE open burning, residential waste dismantling, and residential 
      waste open burning. WEEE-related recycling activities contributed primary 
      percentage (52%) to farmland soil PBDE concentration, and open burning was an 
      important pathway for PBDEs entering the environment.
