Control Indicators for Typical Persistent Organic Pollutants in Lake Sediments by LUO Xi, XIE Xiao-jing, XU Cheng-jian, ZHANG Lu, YAN Dan, TANG Qiang

“…Combined with the co-distribution patterns of heavy metal pollution, the response relationship between pollutant concentrations and lake functions was established. The results showed that control indicators for dioxins should be strictly graded according to lake functions: 10 ng/kg for lakes of landscape and storage functions (aligned with China’s Class I construction land standards), 5 ng/kg for lakes used for agricultural irrigation (referencing German agricultural land standards), and 1 ng/kg for lakes used for fishery purposes (based on background values and Dutch standards). …”
