AB  - With the rapid economic development in China, environmental pollution has become 
      a major concern, particularly pollution by persistent organic pollutants (POPs). 
      Thus, these pollutants must be monitored over the long term. In this study, we 
      analyze the distribution levels and sources of POPs in the surficial sediments of 
      Chinese estuaries and seas. Results showed that POPs in sediments significantly 
      distribute spatially and temporally. Furthermore, POPs not only concentrate in 
      densely populated cities, bays, and industrial areas, but also follow the natural 
      distribution of and temporal changes in local industrial structures. Hence, we 
      recommend sampling sites and frequencies to monitor POPs in China over the long 
      term and to defer their analysis.
