Figure 2
(a) Legacy POPs and emerging pollutants in Bohai Sea sediments. The upper and lower quartiles of the boxes represent 25th and 75th percentiles of the data, and three horizontal bars represent the maximum, median, and minimum values; “×” and “▫” denotes outliers and mean. (Data source: PBDEs [14, 15, 17, 18, 20]; PFOS [23, 24]; PFOA [23, 24]; PCNs [27]; HCHs [6, 84, 85]; DDTs [6, 85–88]; PCBs [15, 19, 87, 89]; PCDD/Fs [84, 89]). (b) Legacy POPs and emerging pollutants in Bohai Sea organisms. The upper and lower quartiles of the boxes represent 25th and 75th percentiles of the data, and three horizontal bars represent the maximum, median, and minimum values; “×” and “▫” denotes outliers and mean. (Data source: PBDEs [14, 35–37, 40]; PFOS [23, 41]; PFOA [23, 41]; HBCDs [36]; SCCPs [44]; TBC [36]; HCHs [9, 35, 37]; DDTs [9, 52]; PCBs [11, 35]).
