AB  - Twenty-one sediment samples were taken from five dated sediment cores collected 
      along the Rhone River from 2008 to 2011. A total of 17 polychlorinated 
      dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), 7 polychlorinated biphenyls 
      (PCBs), 8 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 3 polybrominated biphenyls 
      (PBBs), 3 hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCD) and 31 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) 
      were investigated to provide information on deposition dynamics in time and 
      space, but also regarding the ecotoxicological risks associated with these 
      contaminants. Median concentrations of total PBDEs are nine times lower than the 
      levels of total PCBs along the entire studied stretch of the Rhone River. The 
      results show that total PBDEs concentrations range from 0.06 to 239 mug.kg(-1) DW 
      with a median value of 3.81 mug.kg(-1) DW and a maximum concentration measured in 
      the years 2000s. These maximum concentrations are identical to those measured for 
      total PCBs at the end of the 1990s, but show a different pattern of distribution. 
      Abnormal dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) levels were also detected in the 
      downstream section of the river, with a peak concentration of 147.5 mug.kg(-1) DW 
      measured at the GEC site from 2005 onwards. Analyses of the enantiomeric 
      fractions reveal a fresh input resulting from a technical formulation. Sediments 
      from the core sampled at the most downstream site (GEC) are found to be highly 
      toxic to organisms living nearby, particularly because of the total PCDD/Fs, DDE 
      and DDT levels. In addition, based on available sediment quality guidelines, 
      there may be a potential bioaccumulation risk for humans not only for these three 
      compounds of concern but also for total PCBs and 7 out of the 8 analysed PBDEs.
