Abstract:
Surficial sediment samples were collected from Hochiminh City canals, the Sai Gon-Dong Nai
River, and its estuary, one of the most predominant industrial areas in Hochiminh City, southern Vietnam,
for determination of selected persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Contamination pattern was as follows:
PCBs ? DDTs > HCB > CHLs > HCHs. Concentrations of PCBs and DDTs ranged from 0.50-150 ng/g and
0.15-72 ng/g dry wt, respectively. On the other hand, concentrations of CHLs, HCHs, and HCB were mostly
DDTs in the city canals but PCBs
