AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 
      polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in 
      ship ballast sediments. The ballast sediment samples were collected from six 
      merchant ships docked in 2015 in Jiangyin City, China. Ballast sediments 
      represent a potential vector for the transport of POPs and invasive species 
      between marine environments. An attempt was also made to determine the sources of 
      these compounds in the ballast sediment. The results indicated ballast sediments 
      generally contain greater amounts of BDE-209 and comparable amounts of PAHs, 
      PBDEs (exclusive of BDE-209) and PCBs compared to those in marine surface 
      sediments. Based on the sediment quality guidelines, PAHs and PCBs in ballast 
      sediments were estimated to have median or high potential of posing ecological 
      risks, respectively, to marine life if ballast sediments were disposed without 
      specific treatment. POPs in ballast sediments were derived from multiple sources 
      with atmospheric deposition being an important origin. Ship activities including 
      diesel exhaust and illegal oil sewage discharge were considerable contributors of 
      certain individual POPs to ballast sediments. Our study is important because it 
      represents the first report on levels, health risk assessment and source 
      apportionments of POPs in ballast sediments and is a first step in the 
      implementation of specific ballast sediment management measures.
