Abstract
⺠PBDE levels in municipal dumping sites were higher than those in reference sites. ⺠HBCD levels in municipal dumping sites and reference sites were comparable. ⺠BDE-209 was the dominant PBDE congener, while γ-HBCD was the dominant isomer. ⺠Waste burning may be causing the elevated ratios of octa- and nona-BDEs, and α-HBCD. ⺠PBDE level and the TOC content of soils at dumping sites were not correlated.
