AB  - The concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in sediments from the 
      Eastern Indian Ocean were analyzed by GC-MS/MS to explore the status of 
      contamination, distribution and their potential sources and risk. The average 
      (+/-SD) concentrations of total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( summation operator(16)PAHs), 
      polybrominated diphenyl ethers ( summation operator(10)PBDEs), dechlorane plus ( summation operator(2)DP), 
      organochlorine pesticides ( summation operator(22)OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls ( summation operator(31)PCBs) 
      in sediments were 79,900 +/- 31,400, 173 +/- 62, 42 +/- 24, 1051 +/- 305 and 
      147 +/- 24 pg g(-)(1) dw (or 11,200 +/- 7200, 28 +/- 26, 6 +/- 6, 168 +/- 121 and 
      24 +/- 17 ng g(-)(1) organic carbon), respectively. The concentrations of POPs in 
      sediments were generally at low to median levels compared to those recorded in 
      other ocean sediments. Composition analyses suggest that PAHs originate from both 
      petrogenic and pyrogenic sources, while dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) 
      mainly comes from technical-DDT, hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) from lindane, and 
      chlordane from fresh inputs. The risk assessments show that the targeted 
      chemicals except for chlordane and naphthalene in sediments do not pose potential 
      biological effects to the organisms in the Eastern Indian Ocean. The present 
      study contributes to the very rare data on PAHs, PBDEs, DP, OCPs and PCBs in the 
      vast deep-ocean and will deepen our knowledge of the fate of POPs in ocean 
      environments.
