Abstrakt: Emerging per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and traditional organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the marginal seas of China were analyzed to study the occurrence, transport and phase partitioning. The influence of organic carbon (OC) and element carbon (EC) on particulate emerging pollutants in seawater was studied for the first time. The concentrations of PFASs, OCPs and PAHs in the seawater (dissolved phase plus particulate phase) ranged from 1.4 to 8.6, 0.76 to 4.3 and 8.4 to 130 ng L -1 , respectively. Pollutants in the northern East China Sea were generally higher than that in the southern East China Sea and South China Sea, which may be attribute to river discharges and land sources in the Yangtze River Delta. The Yellow Sea Coastal Current and Yangtze River Dilute Water drove the transport of contaminants from north to south marginal seas. Positive correlations between EC and PAHs were found, which can be explained by co-emission of them during combustion. Moreover, positive correlations between OC, EC and Log K d for BkF, BeP, HCB, 6:2 FTSA were found, which demonstrated that OC and EC promoted the partitioning of these high oleophilic compounds to suspended particle.
