Tóm tắt

Các hóa chất hữu cơ halogen đang nổi lên như mối quan tâm (CECs) đã thu hút nhiều sự chú ý trong thập kỷ qua và có tầm quan trọng đặc biệt đối với Great Lakes của Bắc Mỹ, nơi được coi là nguồn nước ngọt bề mặt lớn nhất trên trái đất. Trong bài báo này, chúng tôi xem xét và tổng hợp việc phát hiện và mức độ ô nhiễm còn sót lại trong cá hồ Great Lakes, những bài học rút ra từ các chất ô nhiễm còn sót lại trong việc nâng cao khả năng phát hiện phân tích của CECs, những tiến bộ và thử thách trong việc đo lường CECs, cùng với các mức độ của CECs trong cá hồ Great Lakes đã được báo cáo đến nay. Các CECs được xem xét bao gồm paraffin clo hóa, naftalen đa clo hóa và các hợp chất thơm clo hóa khác, chất chống cháy halogen hóa và các hợp chất perfluorinated.
