AB  - Emission intensity and climate change control the transport flux and fate of 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in multiple environmental compartments. This 
      study applied a multimedia model (BETR model) to explore alternations in the 
      spatio-temporal trends of concentrations and transport flux of benzopyrene (BaP), 
      phenanthrene (Phe), perfluorooctane sulfonates (PFOS) and polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs) in the Chaohu watershed, located in the lower reaches of the 
      Yangtze River, China in response to changes in source emissions and climate. The 
      potential historic and future risks of these pollutants also were assessed. The 
      results suggest that current trends in concentrations and transport were similar 
      to that of their emissions between 2005 and 2018. During the next 100 years, 
      temporal trends and spatial patterns were not predicted to change significantly, 
      which is consistent with climate change. Based on sensitivity and correlation 
      analyses, climate change had significant effects on multi-media concentrations 
      and transport fluxes of BaP, Phe, PFOS and PCBs, and rainfall intensity was the 
      predominant controlling factor. Risk quotients (RQs) of BaP and Phe-in soil 
      increased from 0.42 to 0.95 and 0.06 to 0.35, respectively, from 2005 to 2090, 
      indicating potential risks. The RQs of the other examined contaminants exhibited 
      little potential risk in soil, water, or sediment. Based on spatial patterns, it 
      was inferred that the ecosystem around Lake Chaohu is the most at risk. The study 
      provides insights needed for local pollution control of POPs in the Chaohu 
      watershed. In addition, the developed approach can be applied to other watersheds 
      world-wide.
