Which of the (Mixed) Halogenated n‑Alkanes Are Likely To Be Persistent Organic Pollutants?
Abstract
Short-chain polychlorinated n-alkanes are ubiquitous industrial chemicals widely recognized as persistent organic pollutants. They represent only a small fraction of the 184,600 elemental compositions (C10-25) and the myriad isomers of all possible (mixed) halogenated n-alkanes (PXAs). This study prioritizes the PXAs on the basis of their potential to persist, bioaccumulate, and undergo long-range transport guided by quantitative …
