Owing to the increase in inflammable polymer materials and related requirements, global demand for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) rose rapidly from the 1970s to the 1990s. BFRs would pollute the soil with dry or wet deposits, as well as landfills. The current research focuses on the levels of PBDEs in the agricultural and non-agricultural soils of Sulaibiya, Kuwait. The study expands the threats of PBDE toxicity to humans as well. The findings will lead to a deeper understanding of PBDE transport practices, environmental effects, and health hazards. The prevalent concentration of BDE-209 congeners can be found in both areas. The average concentrations along the Sulaibiya agricultural and non-agricultural regions were 121.26 ng/g and 50.29 ng/g, respectively, at the current observed sites. The total cancer risk was in the range of 7.67 × 10−9–1316.53 × 10−9 for adults and 10.04 × 10−9–1723.08 × 10−9 for children in the agricultural region. The correspondent total cancer risk in the non-agricultural regions was in the range of 6.14 × 10−9–240.31 × 10−9 for adults and 8.05 × 10−9–314.53 × 10−9 for children. Regardless of the severity of the dismantling activities, the soil organic matter (SOM) of most of the obtained soil samples along agricultural soils varied from 0.2 to 2.1%. As a result, the SOM composition of the samples in this analysis can predominantly be traced to agricultural practices. PCA study was also performed to identify the relationship of soil parameters with the level of PBDEs along with the observed locations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
