| Abstract | Dechloranes, including Mirex, Dechlorane 602 (Dec 602), Dechlorane 603 (Dec 603), Dechlorane 604 (Dec 604) and Dechlorane Plus (DP), are a class of chlorinated flame retardants. To investigate the effect of urbanization and tide on the distribution of Dechloranes in sediment, we assayed surficial sediments collected from the Qiantang River in eastern China for the presence of these chemicals. The concentrations of Mirex, Dec 602, Dec 603, and DP ranged from below detection limit (BLD) to 0.68 ng/g dry weight (dw), BLD-0.048 ng/g dw, BLD-0.026 ng/g dw, and BLD-1.1 ng/g dw, respectively. Dechloranes 604 was not detected in any sediment samples. It was evident that local urban and industrial activities were the primary source of DP in surficial sediments in the Qiantang River, which was supported by the fact that the average DP concentration of sediment samples in urban sites was approximately three-fold higher than that in rural sites. An extremely high concentration of DP at a reservoir site in a rural area indicated that a dam can block the movement of DP in the Qiantang River by slowing down the river current and making the reservoir the primary sink of DP. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of Dechloranes suggested that concentrations of Dechloranes in sediment in the tide zone were much lower than those in the non-tidal zone, indicating that tide played an important role in transportation and re-distribution of Dechloranes in sediments of the Qiantang River. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
