Global distribution and budget of PCBs and HCB in background surface soils: implications for sources and environmental processes.
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
This paper presents data from a survey of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) concentrations in 191 global background surface soils, with OM-rich soils in the NH consistently contained the highest burdens; such soils are a key global compartment for these compounds.
