Here our newest publication on #PolychlorinatedBiphenyls discharge to the environment. We show that #MineWater effluents are a current #PointSource of PCB to rivers.

We provide concentrations of 53 #PCBs, annual loads, and #congener patterns for five mines.

Lower-chlorinated congeners occur in highest concentrations, not the six indicator PCBs.

Single congener concentrations (pg-ng/L range) sum up to loads of 0.1-0.7 kg/a per mine due to high water volumes.
