Chlorinated pesticides and HCB/PCBs releases by sector, 2008

HCB and PCBs are mostly released as unwanted by-products in the cement and metal industry, while chlorinated pesticides are emitted by the organic chemical industry, or by wastewater treatment plants, which may collect pesticides contained in sewage and runoff waters.

Year: 2013
