AB  - The aim of this study was to assess the levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers 
      (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), p,p'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane 
      (DDT), p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), and four heavy metals 
      (arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury) in soil from the city of San Luis Potosi in 
      Mexico. In order to confirm the presence of the previously mentioned compounds, 
      outdoor surface soil samples were collected and analyzed by gas 
      chromatography/mass spectrometer for PBDEs, PCBs, DDT, and DDE. Meanwhile, heavy 
      metals were quantified using the atomic absorption spectrophotometry technique. 
      The total PBDEs levels ranged from 5.0 to 134 mug/kg dry weight (dw), with a total 
      mean PBDEs level of 22.0 +/- 32.5 mug/kg dw (geometric mean +/- standard deviation). 
      For PCBs, the total mean level in the studied soil was 21.6 +/- 24.7 mug/kg dw 
      (range, <LOD to 80.5). An important finding in our study was that all soil 
      samples (100 %) had detectable levels of the metabolite DDE. Moreover, the total 
      mean DDT level ( summation operator DDT and DDE) was approximately 5.50 +/- 4.50 mug/kg dw. The mean 
      levels for arsenic, mercury, cadmium, and lead in soil samples were 7.20 +/- 10.7 
      (range, 15.0 to 265 mg/kg dw), 0.45 +/- 0.48 (range, <LOD to 2.50 mg/kg dw), 
      3.00 +/- 3.00 (range, 1.00-13.0 mg/kg dw), and 108 +/- 105 (range, 25.0 to 435 mg/kg 
      dw), respectively. This screening study provides us with concentration data for 
      the occurrence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and four heavy metals in 
      soil samples from the city of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and considering that soil 
      is an important pathway of exposure for people, a biomonitoring program for the 
      surveillance of the general population in the city of San Luis Potosi is 
      necessary.
