AB  - Plastic resin pellets collected at Minh Chau island and Ba Lat estuary between 
      2007 and 2014 in Vietnam were analyzed for dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethanes 
      (DDTs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs). The 
      study was carried out as part of the International Pellet Watch program for 
      monitoring the global distribution of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). 
      Higher levels of DDTs compared to PCBs indicated agricultural inputs rather than 
      industrial discharges in the region. Most POP concentrations on both beaches 
      decreased over the period, with the exception of HCH isomers. Though the 
      concentration of DDTs showed a drastic decline on both beaches between 2007/2008 
      and 2014, DDTs accounted for 60-80% of total DDTs, suggesting that there is still 
      a fresh input of these chemicals in the region. This study strongly recommends 
      further investigations to track temporal and spatial patterns of POP levels in 
      the marine environment using plastic resin pellets.
