AB  - Sediment profile and mud shrimp (Austinogebia edulis) from the coastal wetland of 
      central Taiwan in 2017 and 2018 were analyzed for concentration, source, and 
      composition of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) including polycyclic aromatic 
      hydrocarbon (PAHs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), organochlorine 
      pesticides (OCPs; DDT and HCB), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Sediment 
      profiling indicated PAH concentrations reaching 254.38 ng/g dw in areas near 
      industrial areas and PAH concentrations of 41.8 and 58.42 ng/g dw in sampling 
      areas further from industrial areas, suggesting that the determining factor for 
      spatial distribution of POPs might be proximity to contaminant sources in 
      industrial zones. Based on molecular indices, PAHs were substantially of both 
      pyrolytic and petrogenic origins. The main sources for PCBs were Aroclor 1016 and 
      1260 and the congener BDE-209 was the dominant component among PBDE congeners. 
      While we were unable to obtain live mud shrimp samples from the heavily 
      contaminated areas, in samples from less contaminated areas, the risk assessment 
      on mud shrimp still illustrated a borderline threat, with DDT concentrations 
      almost reaching standardized values of Effects Range-Low (ERL). Bioaccumulation 
      factors for DDTs and PCBs (17.33 and 54.59, respectively) were higher than other 
      POPs in this study. Further study is essential to assess and understand the 
      impact of these chemicals on the wetland ecosystem near this heavily 
      industrialized area.
