AB  - Riverine sediments, collected on a monthly basis during a period of one year, 
      from five sites in a mixed land use region of the Czech Republic were analysed 
      for chlorinated and brominated persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The region 
      is located in the upper catchment of the Danube River. The POPs concentrations 
      were as follows: 11-930 pg g(-1) polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and 
      dibenzofurans (PCDDs/Fs), 170-980 pg g(-1) dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls 
      (dl-PCBs), 34-13,700 pg g(-1) polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs), 5.7-29,200 pg 
      g(-1) polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs) and 0.21-351 ng g(-1) 
      hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs). Concentrations expressed as toxic equivalents 
      (TEQs), for PCDD/F+dl-PCB+PCN (TEQPCDD/F+dl-PCB+PCN) ranged from 0.37 to 19 pg 
      g(-1). The results revealed a clear spatial separation between sites based on 
      concentration and congener profile. There were also some obvious temporal 
      patterns of selected POPs, which were related to river flow (seasonality) and 
      organic carbon (TOC) of the sediment. Potential sources of POPs include local 
      municipalities (flame retardants), some diffuse sources (PCNs and PCDDs/Fs) and 
      potential point sources (PBDEs). Risk assessment based on risk quotients (RQ) 
      revealed limited to medium ecological risk from PBDEs. TEQPCDD/F+dl-PCB+PCN were 
      low relative to other European rivers, hence the risk to aquatic organisms was 
      considered to be low. PCNs contributed significantly to overall TEQ in several 
      cases.
