- Five HBCD diastereoisomers (α-, β-, γ-, δ- and ɛ-) were investigated in this study. δ-HBCD was detected in air with higher percentages than technical products. HBCDs in air from industrial area showed statistically higher level than urban sites. Domination of α-HBCD in urban areas suggested the occurrence of isomer conversion. Chiral signatures showed enantioselective enrichment of (−)-α-HBCD in air of Shanghai.

- Inventory of production and uses of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in China with geographical distribution. Characteristics of PFOS release sources and distribution consistent with social-economic situation in China. Effective model predicted results of PFOS environmental risk assessment in local and regional scales compared with relevant environmental monitoring data.
