AB  - With anthropogenic activities, the persistent organic pollutants (POPs) 
      accumulated in estuary has been notably concern but the influences of complex 
      hydrodynamic conditions on the fate of POPs in estuary have not fully understood. 
      In this study, the bottom velocity and the concentration of suspended sediment in 
      the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) were determined using the Acoustic Doppler 
      Current Profiler (ADCP), while the concentration of three typical POPs with 
      distinguishing properties, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic 
      aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and organichlorine pesticides (OCPs), were 
      determined simultaneously. Then three nonlinear equations were determined for 
      identifying the hotspots of PCBs, OCPs and PAHs in the YRE. The results indicated 
      the goodness-of-fitting of these three equations were satisfactory, indicating 
      the bottom velocity and the suspended sediment level could be used as the 
      reference factor of POPs. For the YRE, the north branch, the upstream of the 
      north branch, and the mouth of the YRE are identified as the hotspots of PCBs, 
      PAHs and OCPs, especially in the normal, flood and dry season, respectively. 
      Simple structure and easy data availability make the results and methods 
      presented in this paper to be easily used as a reference for POPs studies in 
      other regions.
