Status of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) contamination in several marine and freshwater sediments in the world during the last three decades
Abstract Despite the research on PCBs occurrence in the various matrices in the world, no review has been carried out on the status of these substance contaminations in marine and freshwater sediments during the current periods throughout the globe. The objectives of this paper are to briefly discus...

According to this evaluation, these locations are high risk to the toxic effect particularly to the benthic organisms. Therefore, these places are high concerned in terms of protection and conservation of some marine biotas.
